'non-hackers' is a pretty loaded term.

While I don't have any doubt that more and more diverse users causes friction for those who prefer HN to cater to the sort of stories and culture they prefer, it's worth mentioning that the site is about 'anything that satisfies intellectual curiosity', not hacking in any particular sense.

I'm not annoyed. Some of the most interesting stories i've seen here have had nothing to do with 'hacking' at all, whatever that means.

Appreciate this perspective - I agree that hackers/non-hackers is a very inaccurate label and I like the idea that it's for "satisfying intellectual curiosity".
