I used to get annoyed by these kinds of questions, but honestly I love talking about things I'm passionate about anyway and I want to get more people interested in the subject. So, I'm happy to answer questions like this and simultaneously sneak in some of my own personal experiences.

This is a nice attitude. I think HN is overall pretty nice for geeking out and also hearing other people geek out, but there is still a strain of elitism (not like StackExchange thankfully) and so I'm happy to see comments like this.

		> there is still a strain of elitism Those types can't help themselves so patterns emerge and usernames become recognizable after a while. There are some people who I just don't bother engaging with any more. Of course, those experiences are my own and maybe not the same experience as others.

Thanks, replies like yours are exactly why I prefer asking it here instead of googling.
