> There is no space to drive my tractor collection around.

I am glad to see a comment like this on HN, despite the impression that everyone here is an SV-focused tech bro. Sometimes it feels good to read about somebody's tractors whilst I gaze out at the soybean field in my backyard. :)

I understand the sentiment but in my experience there are a lot more of us out there than you might think. It's probably the very tendency that makes a humble spread in the sticks appealing that also has us mostly laying low in the comments.

This was my front porch in Ohio this morning: https://i.imgur.com/B7KSFP6.jpg

> tech bro

this does not seem to have been said with anomosity, so I take a risk I would not take with more angry interlocutors.

tech bro is casually sexist, right? Could we avoid that, at least when talking between nice people?
