What kind of behavior?

I presume when you say you're a fisherman, you're doing this professionally, i.e. have a boat and go out to see etc?

If so, what brought you to HN? Are you programming?

Not OP but I was recommended to HN by my brother as an alternative to Reddit, which we've both mostly moved on from. I'm not a programmer in any capacity. I work in chip manufacturing, but on the factory floor. Never completed any formal education past high school. So, very different from most of you guys. I just like reading, and this site is absolutely wonderful for that. I love that comments are highly encouraged to have some "meat" to them. No overused, hacky jokes or quibbling arguments. Anyway, my two cents. Plenty of non programmers in here.

Thanks for that insight.

I was just curious how folks outside of startup & tech find their way to HN.

I haven't got further than high school education either and I'm sure many on here neither.

There is a difference between education and learning.

Seth Godin has a good episode about this on his latest podcast in the QA section.
