HN has gotten to the point where it’s not even worth clicking the link because of course it’s ai slop.

There is some real content in the haystack, but we almost need some kind of curator to find and display it rather than a vote system where most people vote on the title alone.

If you’re looking for a place that surfaces only human-written content regardless of whether it’s interesting, rather than interesting content regardless of how it was written, HN is not the place.

There might be a market for your alternative though. Should be easy enough to build with Claude Code.

I know the author personally. He's hardly the type of person to publish AI slop. Read his other articles and watch his talks, this is very much Henry's literary style.
