But HN is the kind of place where someone notices that less gpu orders are coming in or that Donna from HR said the CEO said X or “we can’t get anyone to listen to our AI pitch deck”.

Not anymore sadly.

Most YC founders have been using BookFace for years now, and the most decisionmakers in the space have our own personal GCs or in-person meetups.

Also, take into account what time it is in the Bay Area - it's only 7.30am, and this post and most commenters before this point will have likely been in the East Coast or Western Europe.

HN's signal to noise ratio has dropped significantly over the past few years. Heck even I only use HN because of social media addiction the same way a chain smoker will smoke a cig due to oral fixation.
