“What forums do you regularly participate in?”
After a raised eyebrow, I had to explain in some detail the meaning of the word ‘hacker’...
Not knowing these things doesn't make someone incompetent or terrible people---it just means they don't run in the same circles that I do (to note, plenty of good people at Microsoft have never heard of HN, but are still nice enough to work with).
It's the tracking and asking you about what you visited part, not the "not knowing about HN" part
