Ask HN: Who isn't in the software industry/not a hacker?

I'm a Registered Architect working on Hudson Yards, the largest private real estate development in the history of the United States. I've wanted to be an Architect for as long as I can remember.

I write software(originally PC based and now web based) to make my life easier. I started coding Basic at a very young age. It came naturally to me. I took a C++ class in high school, but aside from that I'm completely self taught.

I'm here because I'm fascinated by the industry and the people. You can't get a better cross section of what is happening in this industry then on this site.

Also, maybe one day I'll develop a product that is useful to me and useful to others. So having some background on start-ups could help, right?

I'm a sound designer who currently works at Shakespeare in the Park, also in NYC. I'm absolutely fascinated by the Hudson yards project. What exactly is your involvement in that project?

That sounds cool can you expand?
