I wonder why none of these programmers who do such webpages not visit HN? Are they in a different planet :-(

  Fundamentally there are two types of programmers, those who are interested in programming in all it's forms and actively seek out communities with similar interests (you see this in framework communities and language communities particularly) and those who don't, the second set may be good programmers or not (I'd suspect having met some of them that the average second set programmer is not as capable as the first set but that's anecdotal). They also tend to be the ones who use whatever tool they are using for a long time and argue "good enough is good enough" as a justification for not learning new things. I know this is a horribly broad generalization but I have seen it repeat constantly over time, you also tend to find them working for large organisations or on legacy stuff that wasn't legacy when they wrote it. Again, horribly broad generalization and some enterprise programmers are amazing.

    I wonder in terms of ethics. Why don't they tell the bosses it is unethical? Like bankers software engineers need some ethics treatment. I look at you who add multiple trackers to websites.
