- thereisnospork 3y agoNot like Microsoft has ever made actively hostile design choices over and over again with it's namesake product or anything...

Meh, the world of developers as a profession, is much bigger than some angry activists on Twitter and HN smelling their own farts in their echo-chambers and venting on their blog. HN also likes to forget that enterprise also exists. And that IBM or SAP exist. Or that most of the tech that makes the world go round is very outdated and not the latest hip cool stacks from the start-up world. Sometimes it's just another echo chamber where people prioritize emotions and feelings over facts.
- doublepg23 3y agoThe term I hear used Jupiter Broadcasting's Coder Radio is "dark matter developers" - imagine 9-5 Java 8 guys. However, I don't think HN forgets they exist, I think a lot of HN users are those enterprise people who want to use better tools.
