You’re the 3rd person to mention being a farmer. Do we have a bunch of farmers on HN? That’s really interesting. What brings you here?

- enumjorge 5y agoYou guys are reading too much into these comments. I’m not surprised that farmers use science or technology. I know they do. I’m surprised they’re hanging out specifically in HN. Typically the perspective I see in HN is from people with a primarily IT background, with an emphasis on FAANG-like or Silicon Valley-type companies. I know that HN’s audience is broader than that though, and it’s refreshing to come across a different point of view. I would have had the same reaction if several comments mentioned they were microbiologists. It’s just not what I normally see, and I’d be curious how they landed here too.
