Hacker News seems to have been mobbed with people who have zero sense of humor and no ability to recognize satire.
In my tenure as a hacker I've found that the subset of hackers who don't get satire and seem to have no sense of humor is at least as large as the subset that does. For every cool, funny hacker guy you meet, there's at least one weird, humorless semi-autistic guy waiting to make the next teambuilding outing more awkward.
