Where do all the hackers go now?

HN has jumped the shark. The top five stories all relate to the fact that some centralised source code hosting service got hacked. So what? Oh no did your central git repo get deleted? Gosh if only git were distributed!

I swear, half the titles on this site sound as if they were taken from Cosmo. I'll leave it as an exercise to determine which of these are real:

Finding a technical co-founder: You're doing it wrong. (And You Could Be Packing On Pounds WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING!)

Be Successful First Thing in the Morning (And Our Top Ten Tips For Slashing Technical Debt!)

Why you’ll always think your product is shit (And Five Tips On How To Deal!)

Mashing Up On A Budget (What You Need To Know About Apps, Maps, and Traps.)

I guess the brogrammers are already invading. So where do the hackers go now? By hackers, I mean people who write C or Lisp code, not web 3.0 Rails crap; people who wouldn't touch hg with a ten-foot pole because they understand that a database is a broken abstraction for storing source code; people whose concept of distributed X doesn't include a massive, single point of failure; people who get the magic of )))))))) and laugh when they read that whatever has macros; people who can write proper, non-sensationalised English.

Maybe I just missed the memo. If so, can someone please fill me in and let me know where to go? Thanks.
