BigCorp vs startup leaves out a whole lot of mature small- and midsize-businesses. People working for SMBs have a lot of reasons for doing so. Some people want to find 9 to 5 jobs where, when they're done for the day, they can shut off. Some people are kinda okay at writing at software and want to live in Ohio or whatever and they're not the sort of person someone is going to beat down the door for to make them an offer for a remote job. Like, HN comes from YC, it's not surprising that there's a focus on startups and the sorts of BigCorps that grew from startups in living memory. But Java, C# and VB.NET are all in the Tiobe top-10, and I feel like HN has a real blindspot for the people who are writing line-of-business apps. It's like they're all dark-matter developers.
