Not OP but I was recommended to HN by my brother as an alternative to Reddit, which we've both mostly moved on from. I'm not a programmer in any capacity. I work in chip manufacturing, but on the factory floor. Never completed any formal education past high school. So, very different from most of you guys. I just like reading, and this site is absolutely wonderful for that. I love that comments are highly encouraged to have some "meat" to them. No overused, hacky jokes or quibbling arguments. Anyway, my two cents. Plenty of non programmers in here.
- uxcolumbo 5y agoThanks for that insight. I was just curious how folks outside of startup & tech find their way to HN. I haven't got further than high school education either and I'm sure many on here neither. There is a difference between education and learning.
