Ask HN: Would it make sense to have a "memes" tab for developer humor/stories?

3•FerkiHN•6h ago
I know Hacker News values high-signal discussion, but hear me out:

Many developers have funny, real-life stories or coding moments that others can relate to — bugs that felt like boss battles, compiler errors that haunted dreams, or memes that reflect the struggle of shipping code. These aren’t "memes" in the TikTok sense — more like inside dev humor, insights through irony, or just light relief after hours of debugging.

What if there were a small “mem” tab — like ask, show, or best — where the community could share developer-centric humor, stories, or short sketches?

Done right, it could still follow HN values: thoughtful, relevant, high-quality — just with a lighter tone.

Curious what others think. Would this dilute the HN culture, or could it be a useful way to connect through shared struggles and laughter?

I think its a great idea

After all we have to tolerate the numbskulls who think people want to read regurgitated news links galore.

People can go those sites if they want to read them.

the guardian, theatlantic, thetimes, newyorker, foxnews, bloomberg, facebook, dailymail, nytimes, washingtonpost, nypost, amazon? twitter, bbc, wsj.

same old stories, different named sites

I like to read interestng stuff by interesting people not MSN biased news.
