Incorrect. I'm implying that the majority of HN users are programmers.
The majority of people on HN are programmers, the majority of people not on HN are not programmers, the majority of programmers are not on HN.
I can't speak on what the majority of programmers think. Isn't the opinion of people in the open source community the interesting one?
- gcau 3y agoPerhaps you thought I meant the majority of all people, I meant the majority of all programmers outside HN (hold a different definition of open source than the more extreme one used here). Not that it matters - but I would say non-programmers have an even higher percentage of people with a different definition. I mean sure, the more upset reactions from the more invested parties are the more interesting ones. I just take issue with people fighting to use a more-incorrect, less-used definition which serves no purpose other than to try make entities like Redis look bad.
