Oh the venn diagram might be big, the HN population just has a lot of variance I think, and is less of a community per se. I don't doubt what you're saying, though in the grand scheme of things, I think the "too lazy to hit shift" population dwarfs any of these groups.
replyYeah, I can agree with the variance. Except that the "too lazy to hit shift" community is not something I would ever confuse with people writing long form articles about their regex engine research that they'll be presenting at PLDI.
replyThe confusion might be understandable for people who have never encountered this style before, but that's still a very uncharitable take about an otherwise pretty interesting article.
