I&#x27;m starting to just read the comments on HN and I don&#x27;t even look at articles anymore. I suppose this behaviour is similar to what I do on social media.<p>The good part is that I have become a significantly better programmer from the articles and comments on HN. Although, most of the improvements came from the first year of using HN and then it&#x27;s started to taper off since.<p>I should probably use HN less, but I think it has genuinely improved my life more than any other social media website.
