What sources like HN do you consume?

This question comes up every year (I've seen it for the nearly 2 decades of HN), and the answers are never satisfying.

Other industries just don't have an HN equivalent, either for lack of trying or because hackers are good making and using things like HN when others aren't.

Unsure why @Nathanf22's comment was downvoted to death. I would also suggest Lobste.rs and Reddit. But then again, RSS seems to work quite well in my case.

Lobste.rs for the more technical deep-dives — smaller community but higher signal-to-noise ratio.

Dev.to and Zenn for longer-form technical writing, though the quality varies a lot.

For architecture and system design specifically, the Software Architecture subreddit (r/softwarearchitecture) has surprisingly good discussions.

HN remains the best for the intersection of tech + business + ideas.

NASA Space Flight [1] is the forum for anything and everything space industry related.

Punchbowl News is a great source for American congressional politics. They have a newsletter for free that goes out every weekday at 6 AM.

There's nothing like HN, but the closest is Reddit.

If you're interested in programming then r/programming

If UFC, for example, then

r/ufc

r/mma

r/python

Just whatever it is you're interested in, there's likely a subreddit for it. The more niche it is, the better the quality of the sub.

I notice a lot of the suggestions are news-oriented. However, the thing I like about HN are all the non-news gold nuggets about tech. I'd love to find such gold nuggets for other industries as well.
