I have to admit that I'm not familiar with this problem. I mean, I understand if we're taking about those forms where you get 20 minutes of half an hour, but it seems to me that you are talking about those cases where you get a few days or a week.

This makes me think you might be in that small space where you are a decent programmer, but still don't have enough experience to be confident.

If that's the case, don't worry, it gets easier in time, at least in my case it did.

Even though I have an account for years now, I just recently got hooked on HN. I still don't have an estimate on how much time I spend on it, but I don't even care. Ok, I use it as a news aggregator and I'll probably forget about most of it in a few days, weeks or whatever, but more importantly, I use it to find out about resources too.

Resources for learning and for my job in general, for my own products or for my day job. I think it currently might be one of best places to stay informed and on top of latest technologies.

I don't think HN and Facebook belong in the same category here, at least not for most of people. Somebody can still use Facebook to get informed about the technology, but most people don't.

Yeah, thank you, fixed it.

There is also "Ask HN" section, original question would be a good example for it. You would put "Ask HN: " in front of your title and it would go to that section.

Sorry if you saw it like that, but I really didn't mean it, I just thought it was a really good article on what HN generally is.

I've even upvoted your question.

I'm guessing this is OP's title for software architects.

This is true, but I'm not sure it's only limited to IT or programming, I'd say it's present in more or less any human activity.

Check out Codecademy too:

https://www.codecademy.com/

It's a generally good way to learn something through available resources (which are accessible as never before), do an Open Source project of your own and then look for a junior position to apply and widen that knowledge.

Good luck!

I consider this to be a good advice.
