There's a lot of fluff on HN lately, which is why I'm slowly transitioning back to Slashdot (where I was before for about 10 years).

While HN has its highs and lows, Slashdot is consistently better.

BTW, I wasn't referring to or including this article when I said fluff. This article wasn't bad at all, but it does remind me of the 'get 6-pack abs' story I see on the cover of every men's magazine, Every. Single. Month.

There are worse offenders, and that's why Slashdot has been looking so good lately.

For me it's more that HN-oriented bloggers seem to think every two-sentence thought they have is so profound and success-guaranteeing it should be broadcast to the world.

I think of it as business-oriented trolling.
