Ask HN: What percentage of HN users are developers?

[wseqyrku]

All I see is marketing campaigns and social media managers. And when it's neither of those it reads like user research or whatever that is called. There's hardly any developer left here. Curious what the precentage is.

You may find the newpoll [1] option useful for this. Requires 500 karma to start one which you have.

That couldn't possibly prove or disprove my theory, this was my personal experience reading comments and submissions. And I don't think those type of people are expected to identify themselves as such.

Which programming language do you like? I can try to find one post about it.

I am one. So you can set your counter to +1

Sorry you had to go though creating a throwaway to say this.
