HN as tech trend? The results seem conclusive, but drop a comment below to share your thoughts on what James shared, his methodology, etc.

There’s a general belief in the tech circles I inhabit that Hacker News is a useful indicator for up-and-coming technologies that will hit the mainstream within the next few years. So I picked some of the major tech topics of the past fifteen years to see if that’s really true. Can I convince myself that checking the HN front page multiple times a day is a useful and productive exercise?
