How do I keep up? How does someone who only reads the front page keep up? Think of all the stuff on new that they never even see. They're behind by definition! :)
I don't treat HN as only programming or only startups, I treat it as the most interesting and eclectic news source on earth. And I'm pretty good at ignoring whatever doesn't interest me.
During the week I read front, then the first page of new, sometimes the second, rarely past that. If I'm between tasks during the day I might check new, and if I see something on the first or second page of new I'll tab it up. I don't try to keep up, so most things probably disappear.
On a Saturday or Sunday morning it's my Sunday paper with coffee.
