Why do you think a software engineer or computer scientist would be more qualified?

This site in general has a massive hate boner for any part of a corporate structure that isn't the engineering department. Sales, admin, marketing, legal, HR, etc... all get flak from the HN community for being irredeemably idiotic wastes of space.

"Hacker News commenters are frequently unaware that their use cases and customer preferences do not reflect the average customer demand in the market." - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46192577

There's a reason I put that in my profile. :^)

Sounds like HN users represent an underserved and untapped market and are being rational market actors while discussing their preferences.

One of my favorite examples of this is when HNers insist that if only an auto-manufacturer would make a simple car with tactile buttons and no screen or creature comforts it would sell like hotcakes.

		I think those could sell, but you'd have to make the screens a luxury trim item again. Which could honestly happen if vehicle Right to Repair laws happen. But we're way off topic here. :D
