Out of curiosity: what kind of people use this "forum" (I mean Hacker News)?

6 adinhitlore 7 8/26/2025, 10:35:30 PM

So I ended up here following recommendation from chatgpt after expressing my doubts about grok and also twitter/x. But i'm curious what the other profiles are: young programmers 18-25? startup founders? tech journalists? ?

I am here because it feels like the last place to enjoy insightful discussion among a diverse group of strangers.

I really enjoy when someone fresh out of college asks a question and a retiree engineer/technician/manager joins the discussion with personal knowledge. The insight and experience here, pending the AI slop takeover, is what you usually find only on very topic-specific forums.

The text-only formatting, culture of contributing to the conversation, and simplicity (read: not shiny and new), hopefully continue to keep out the cesspool of other internet at bay as long as possible.

18-25? Yikes, I've had my account here for just over 18 years...

sizeable minority maybe like 10%-30%, i've seen many posts about Python/ML, i'm very convinced most of the people who focus greatly on Python to do ML are under 30. No source to back it up, just logic - python exploded in the past 5 years and it's hand-in-hand with ml...college kids must be loving it.

Curious people.

I will second that. While I do have a computer Engineering degree, I am really more drawn to the stuff posted here outside my areas of expertise. I also like to hear what highly proficient folks have to say about current events and trends - when they are permitted by the ground rules of the site.

Normal folks like me.
