I came across HN by accident, and what keeps me coming back is the interesting, informative links & threads, and the quality of discussion. Threads about workplace issues are of interest to me, as are general scientific and social topics.
I'm a "scientific" programmer, meaning that I use programming as a problem solving tool, but I don't write commercial software for a living. I turned away from that path in the early 80s.
