Hacker News

How are you going to run a community at scale without delegation? The only alternative is to let the computer do it.

HN does a pretty good job of it. Turns out paid employees seem to be more incentivized to keep people coming back.

Putting your site in the hands of one person is very risky, plus StackOverflow was much bigger than Hacker News; it served the whole software community.
