> Hipsters? We're talking about software development here and programming language choices.

I am making a colorful analogy to illustrate a point. I think it is appropriate vis-a-vis the level of the original discussion. I already pointed out to cletus' comment in the original thread, read that if you want a more logical and clear explanation.

> You seem to be taking a few anecdotes, apparently of HN posts, interpreting them in your own..

You mean I am actually writing my own opinions on how I view a situation as opposed to pasting data tables, code or exact quotes I read some other place.

> I do not recognize what you have described as any current reality I am a part of:

That's fine. But when I don't recognize stuff that is not part of my reality I also don't usually go writing long comments about it. I just skip over. There is stuff about high frequency trading on front page. I don't understand how that works and am not interested, I skip over it. I don't upvote or flag, and certainly don't respond to every comment in there with "Hey everyone, this is not a part of my reality".
