I'm not saying HN is bad specifically (otherwise I wouldn't be here). There are obviously links to excellent articles posted here, and interesting projects. So this is not an issue with the quality, but more the quantity. Call it "information overload" if you want.

"15 second spans" was exaggerated, this is not Twitter. However reading these kind of sites causes a lot of context switches between topics and articles that seem interesting, or make me want to argue, but a few hours later I cannot really remember anymore what they were about.

It's a very fragmented experience with no clear narrative (at least, that my brain bothers remembering), but it does wear me out.

In any case, it's not that I don't have it under control, but to me it feels more like a potential addiction than coding ever did.
