This is the second "coders' font" to hit HN today. Personally, I like the font. And its license.

  I think this post is a reaction on that other type post because Anonymous Pro is few years old.

    Yeah, it's come up a few times in the past. https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=anonymous+font https://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=anonymous+font

    Right, that was a font designed by a programmer. This is a font designed by a professional type designer. (Proxima Nova is quite famous.)

  So I'm not the only one that is irked by the term "coders" or the even sillier "I wrote a code".

    whats wrong with 'coder' - he is someone who writes code. the one i find confusing is 'developer' its vague and pretentious vs. 'programmer' my preferred term - its precisely descriptive, a quality which i would expect programmers to cherish

      The one that bugs me is people who describe themselves as just 'consultant'. I've met two of the following. Yes, a consultant, but what kind? 'I'm a consultant' Yes, but what do people consult you for? 'For when they need consulting' Yes, but about what? Are you a medical consultant, a security consultant, a civil engineer, a financial consultant, legal, something else? [puzzled look] "I'm - a - consultant." Boring conversation anyway...
