Are you suggesting there is a government conspiracy to influence this dusty corner dive bar of the Internet?
- ahhhhnoooo 7mo agoAre there tech workers who don't know what HN is? It's a pretty reasonably sized social media site.
- longislandguido 7mo agoI'm reminded of that episode of Portlandia where the mayor was obsessed with thinking the city was bigger and more important than it actually is.
- ahhhhnoooo 7mo agoI don't think I overstated it. Tech workers is a small piece of the global population.
- Der_Einzige 7mo agoPortland OR has a higher GDP than Vancouver BC.
- longislandguido 7mo agoSadly, Portland is a backwater logging outpost and no one outside the PNW gives a shit about Portland or could place it on a map. I'm sorry, it's true.
- ahhhhnoooo 7mo agoThat's how I feel about Dallas, Pittsburgh, Tallahassee, etc. I think we're all just not as familiar with regions outside our own.
- rustystump 7mo agoI had no idea what hn was until about 2 years ago. This would be 8 years into a career in tech… there are dozens of us.
- BeetleB 7mo agoAt my previous job at a well known, established large tech company - I didn't find anyone who had heard of HN. Not about people using HN. But even being aware the site exists.
