That's a good critique, and a decent attempt at bringing a taste of what exclusion might feel like to "the Technical".
I'm looking forward to reading and not responding to the inevitable copium sharing in the comments, hoping there will also be some interesting discussion.

- blenderob 2y ago> HN doesn't like Not Technical. Is it? I love HN but if I can fault HN with something, it'd be that HN upvotes too many non-technical articles. Too many! Every morning I come to HN to give me company for my morning coffee. And every morning I've to work hard to find the technical articles. The number of political articles, "feel good" articles, social issues stuff and other general non-tech stuff that people upvote makes looking for tech articles like searching needle in haystack. I wish HN had more technical articles.
- swiftcoder 2y ago> HN upvotes too many non-technical articles. Too many! non-technical, and Non Technical are not the same thing here (i.e. you are describing topics that are not directly related to tech, whereas the article is about how Non Technical labels are applied to people within tech)
- bananabiscuit 2y agoI love non-technical writing. Outside of work, the majority of what I like to read is non-technical. It’s a mistake to confound non-technical writing with bad writing. Sometimes you have to admit when the emperor is nude.
