> the average software developer angrily dismissing his views as "woke"...

What is this supposed to mean? Why are you suggesting that the average "software developer" would view the subject's expressed point of view as "woke" as opposed to a person from any other occupation? Why the hostility towards software developers?

View on HN

This is board popular with software developers and the top comment on an article about a very interesting archaeological finding is a criticism of the quote of one of the archaeologists for being critical of a Eurocentric view in archaeology.

> This is board popular with software developers

I am not sure what is meant by "board popular", did you mean to say "broadly popular". At any rate, you have not answered my question. You have simply rephrased what the poster that I responded to above already said.

He meant to say "This board is popular with software engineers", which is way it's straightforward (and often, correct) to assume that posters are software engineers.

It means HN is full of sea lions.
