SoylentNews is people
SoylentNews
So, as per usual, I like to occasionally check the pulse on the community to make sure that people for the most part are happy and satisfied with the day-to-day operation of the site. For those of you who are new to the community, first, let me welcome you and explain how these work.
When I open the floor to the community, the intent is to provide a venue to discuss anything related to site operations, content, and anything along those lines. I actively review and comment on these posts, and if one issue pops up multiple times in comments, I generally run follow up articles to try and help address issues the community feels is important before someone decides to take rehash and form a spinoff. Feel free to leave whatever thoughts you want below.
In contrary to my usual posts, I don't have that much to say to this, so to both the community and editorial team's relief, I'll cut this off right here before it becomes Yet Another NCommander Novel.

That's true to a point. I like reading comment threads between knowledgeable people on subjects I don't study. A lot of people here are pretty smart (aside from myself!) and can get a lot and sometimes contribute in intelligent discussions about fields we are interested in but not experts. Better to have more technical stories with few comments and let the gems spark conversation than leave them all out imho.
I did software for a living for many years and have transitioned to hardware in art/design doing sculptures and whatnot. My gripe? Overall it's not bad at all, but sometimes the condescension when discussing computers around here gets a bit pathetic... [see: circle jerk] Being annoying is 'whatever' but, the big one is that it detracts from the ability for a robust debate to develop.
All things considered, Soylent is fantastic. Thanks!!
