That's a bit narrow minded, there are people other than programmers who browse HN.


Of course, we all know that.

But what's your suggestion exactly? And if you have one, did you bring it up to the moderator team?


None, my point is that it's a silly thing to say to someone who's not interested in the compilation time. Why ask someone to reconsider if they are in the right forum because of such a opinion? That's not very welcoming.


I disagree, it's not silly. I love it when these things are specified, they help give me context and sometimes are a decider whether I start reading at all.

HN is too broad a forum nowadays and apparently you can't make everyone feel welcome. Which is fine but I'll not accept "silly" or "could not care less" labels. They are subjective and attempting to present them as facts is not productive.
