HN downplays all jobs other than programming to a horrible degree.

"Why do we even need hr?"

"Why do we even need managers?"

"Why do we even need sales?"

I've seen it all on this site. It's pretty disrespectful to those professions especially when hr is on the front lines when hiring slows and layoffs take place. The talk of outsourcing in particular is amusing since HN will talk endlessly about how outsourcing programming can't possibly work.
