I do think there is a large overlap with American IT workers and gun enthusiasts. I happen to be one of them. But I do agree with your comment. As much as I may find the topic "Czech gunmaker CZG buys Colt" interesting, I believe it does not belong on Hacker News. Little by little Hacker News is turning into reddit. There is a reason why I come here and not reddit. The mods should take this post down to ensure the integrity of Hackers News.
- tpmx 6y agoWhen you say IT workers, do you mean mostly the people we used to call sysadmins? (The term "IT worker" doesn't translate well globally.)
- foofoo4u 6y ago"IT" is an overloaded term, so I don't blame the confusion. When I say IT, I am referring to jobs like Software Development, sysadmins, technicians, data scientists, etc.
- blaser-waffle 6y ago"IT" in this context I suspect refers broadly to "tech". But yeah, the in-industry definitions are that "IT" is business-side support & project roles, while CS / Dev are coders.
