Hola Hackers!


Now that 2024 has ended, we thought it would be interesting to recap our community’s viewing history. HackerNoon publishes hundreds of articles every week, but what were the Top 10 categories that grabbed more attention than the others? Well, you’re about to find out.


The HackerNoon community had a total reading time of 44 YEARS, 6 MONTHS, AND 18 DAYS, but the one category that caught our community's attention more than the others was… Programming!

With over 9.3 years of reading time, HackerNoon readers kept coming back and back for what the Programming category had in store.


Well, no surprises there! HackerNoon is home to some of the most in-depth guides and tutorials you’ll find on the internet on, quite frankly, any programming language you can think of!


But it’s not all just code; the Tech-stories category also caught our community’s attention, underscoring the prominence of thought leadership and other news-worthy items that our readers care about.


Artificial intelligence also continued to grab our community’s attention as the category had a reading time of over five years!
