Ask HN: Non-Tech People on HN?
Hello everybody! The other day on a thread I meet an electrician on HN, and TBH I was pleasantly surprised.
I might have formed an idea of the stereotypical HN crowd that is too narrow of naive, but now I'm curious... who are y'all? I'm quite aware of the academics, software/hardware engineers, founders, etc... but, who else is here? What do you do for a living?
I'll start, I was a pastor :-) but it wasn't until I started in software that I came across this community.
How about you?
- sssc 5y agoI'm a communications manager. Also, a woman. Bonus points?
- tsjq 5y agoare you POC and / or non American too ?
- _benj 5y agoThat is so cool! I can't write to save my life, so I have certainly an admiration for those in wise in the ways of communication! Woman, certainly bonus point! The best engineers I've worked with have been females, I think because they see and tackle projects/problems/tasks/mundane work from such a different point of view that I can't help but admire it!
- unearth3d 5y agoHi, I'm a landscape architect and ecologist in NZ, late 50's cauc. male, on HN (mainly) to learn about scripting, cmd/cli. Use a lot of diff. software to do design.
- _benj 5y agoNeat! I've been recently falling more in love with trees and have been planing to beautify my backyard, any recommendations? Also, if there's anything in particular about cli/scripting that you need an individual to ask, my emails is on the profile :-)
