Yeah, HN is ironically the most tech-skeptical crowd I've frequented. Maybe it's a part of the libertarianism inherent in hacker culture, which is less diluted in HN compared to other platforms due to a lesser influx of new non-techy users.

  Honestly there is also a lot of hipster contrarianism in it. Like the comment saying the web was better when everything was served from cgi-bin.

  I've always thought that much of the skepticism is due to working in the industry, so HN'ers know how the sausage is made.
