In that case, your poll options seem strange. For instance, a hacker can be interested in both coding and entrepreneurship. In this scenario, he or she will vote "I'm a hacker", which doesn't fully represent the person given your choices.
Try this:
* Interested in hacking/programming
* Interested in business/entrepreneurship
* Interested in both
* Interested in interesting stuff excluded from the list
- jmonegro 17y agoThanks, I added the "both" option.
- netsp 17y agoI think the options are still a little off. "I'm a.." & "I'm interested in.." are not really the same thing. Also, "I'm a hacker" or "I am more interested in the business and entrepreneurship side of HN," don't really cover all the options. You could be a non programmer interested mostly in programming. Many of the programming related articles here are relatively abstract & do not require an understanding of programming to read. Another thin. 'Hacker' might not be the right word for your purpose. It implies all sorts of things.
