Ask HN: Where have the posts with open source projects of enthusiasts gone?

3 points by FerkiHN 12mo ago ↗ HN

I saw that on HN I rarely see posts that say things like "I created a new game engine written in Rust.", or "I made a port of Doom for Nokia", where did all these posts go, why do I see something completely different now?

HN dying?

I can see a few cool projects on show: https://news.ycombinator.com/show

I don't know, I didn't really notice it, because I wasn't really looking for projects, but rather looking for training on hacker news.

I think "in Rust" posts in particular have experienced a bit of a backlash due to what people perceived as an excess of projects where being written in Rust is the main selling point.

As for the rest, I guess open source enthusiast projects have, for the time being at least, been replaced by AI enthusiast projects.
