I'm Unschooled. Yes, I Can Write.: How I Learned to Read and Write (yes-i-can-write.blogspot.com)

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As for the rest, I guess open source enthusiast projects have, for the time being at least, been replaced by AI enthusiast projects.

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

Yes, there are interesting projects there, but there are fewer of them, I don't see such enthusiasm as, for example, 2 years ago, then the projects sounded much more exciting, and now I can't feel the emotions that I once did.Maybe it's problem me?

> .... why do I see something completely different now?

Guessing fallout from no studies on how to get AI motivated about/interested in/trained on cool side project(s)? (vs. human factor of using side projects as way to learn/master/showcase talent with side effect(s) of generating a 'cool' project(s)).
