I'd put that very differently. Some are interested in what they have, others in what they do, the rest in how they do. And, I don't think that people on HN are predominantly interested in things. I think they're above all interested in acts.

The division is long established in the scientific lit - just highlighting it exists.

if you want some more substantial further reading, search around the "things-people" and "data-ideas" dimensions are surprisingly established and quite interesting.
