Ask HN: Know Your Developers

4•robalni•1d ago
Let's try to know the people who are running our computers. It's a strange relationship isn't it? You depend on them in such important ways but you have never met them. You have never seen them. You don't even know how many they are or where they are from.

It makes sense, doesn't it, that those who run arbitrary code on your computer every day, are people you feel like you can talk to? So let's talk to them. Make friends. Know each other. Help each other.

And if you feel like they would not care about you because so many people are using their programs, switch to a program that fewer people use, made by someone who can care about you as a human, someone who would be happy to have you as a user.

If you feel like there are too many developers, so that you can't talk to all of them, switch to simpler programs made by fewer people.

I thought that was the whole point of Hacker News as a website. A significant portion of the site's readership are developers. Oh look, a comment box!
