Simple -- the crowd who picks and buys Oracle doesn't hang out on HN. So if you are on HN then you think everyone runs Docker, Kubernetes, RethinkDB, Go, and something...something Reactive.

Exactly. There is a huge world of professional IT that HN is almost blind to. Though I'd wager that there is someone on HN from just about every niche in IT.

We do hang around here, but technologies are adopted on "business value" not "geek factor".

This is spot on. "Enterprise" dev life is way different than HN dev life.

Picks and buys, perhaps, but some of us who have to use the stuff are here :-)
