> Not sure who 'us' is; HN readership is pretty diverse

Do you really believe that? 99% of us work in offices. You're in a bit of a bubble. Try going to a working man's club or the equivalent in your country to get a glimpse of the rest of society.

I've worked as bar staff in one. Talking about a tribal bubbles, that place was insane. I have also worked in offices, factories and fields. Currently doing geeky stuff with nightclubs for a pittance and massively preferring it when compared to some of the vastly more high paid work I have done.

There is groupthink on here, but I would say that HN perhaps isn't as cookie-cutter as you may suppose.

What's your point? I didn't say anything about what HN is, I just said that it is in no way a "diverse" group of people. Honestly can't see how anyone could think this is diverse.

Please stop before wading so far out into the weeds.
