Parody Hacker News (2013) (bradconte.com)

There's no comment I could make that isn't already in the parody.

I still miss n-gate so much. I wonder where that guy went. Hope he's okay.

It’s missing the new comments after 2015

- an archive link to bypass paywalls

- someone self promoting their similar tool/blog

- a wild paid shill

- kagi guy, he brings kagi into most discussions

- the AI slop

all the parody jokes aside, I still think hacker news commenting is so much more informative and solution oriented than reddit.

The closest hacker news parody would be this https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/48696148

Font sizes are pretty spot on. The up- and down-vote arrows need to be smaller, though, at least on mobile. ;)

I have stuff to say about JIT.

Someone please create something similar about AI slop and comments about AI slop in an article. That will be more 2026 HN. /s (partially)

Speaking of Hacker News parodies, I wonder what happened to n-gate. They stopped updating their site around 2021

The author's website design is insufferable, here's a fix for the horrible font and scrolljacking that's worse than the reader mode of your browser in case you are reading comments before the article:

    document.body.style.color = "pink";
