I find that this crowd would be more willing to use or pay for a solution, as opposed to the average person would would just slug their way through the problem, ignoring any better or easier way of doing things. Most people aren't even aware of something being a problem until they are shown a solution. People here on HN are more apt to be thinking of easier and faster ways of doing things. As I sometimes say: Most people don't know what they want.
