This article makes me smile because I am a Hacker News groupie. People can passionately follow art or music or movies and no one thinks them odd for not producing some of the same- that's how I feel about programming. I just like following it, especially the underlying philosophies. I'm an armchair hacker- oh, I've put a few things together in my day but they're the programming equivalent of Harry/Draco slash. I guess this means Y Combinator's Hacker News has an official fangirl ;)
