Hacker News- Everyday I read 2 pages of HN in the morning and 2 in the evening for years now
- Of late, I noticed that most of the stuff on the 1st 2 pages is AI this, AI that, LLM this, LLM that, model here, model there
- Today I am going to attempt to break that trend by sharing the greatest resources on HN from my collection of 50000+ bookmarks over the last decade
- I have a process on my end for bookmarking
- The most visual explainers get S-Tier ranking
- Good info from reputed sources gets an A, non reputed gets B
- Opinion blogs are at the bottom of the barrel and maybe ranked C, D, E and even F depending on quality
- Here's my S-Tier list
