I'm interested in IT news and love to read the comments to get a feeling for the many different perspectives, pro and cons and experiences from insiders who worked with certain technologies. It feels genuine.
This place reminds me of the very early reddit days, when it was still a great place to find interesting stories.
Only the most relevant topics from the big tech news fanfare percolate inside HN; all the rest brings to the light a part of the tech web which would otherwise remain mostly unknown to me. HN us a community-driven curation process and it works because the community is great.
I'm kind of addicted. I wish I could stop coming here, or at least have some self-discipline, but it hasn't worked. I'm aware of noprocrast and other technical means, but I just end up working around them to get at the website.

Otherwise, I come for the nuggets of useful information. I find them semi-frequently, so there is some positive to coming here.
