I tend to agree whole heartedly with this article, though, I would mention one thing. I tend to find HN to be far less misogynistic than a lot of discussion boards, though indeed far from balanced regarding social issues. That said, it seems to be male oriented, incredibly narcissistic board ("Why I use [insert new fangled json/python tool]", "How I/We got to be so awesome (and you can too!)")

HN is an echo chanber
