Yea, this is fair point, but if you saw what we're seeing in HardwareLand, you'd see that we very underrepresented and feel VERY different from the standard startup crowd.

There's some similarities that HN does very well on - general lean startup stuff, etc., but HN will never be a community that up-votes "How to manufacture in China" type articles more than "How to Deploy X web stack in Y way" ones.

I agree 100%. Here are some other hardware related subreddits I follow.

My favorite: http://www.reddit.com/BuildaPC

Something that most folks can do, and get a better product for the same dollars. Not to mention gaining many of the advantages about learning hardware as programming gives you on software.

i subscribed for a while, but it's mostly about what's the fastest video card per dollar. blah.

the rest are talking about actually making things, this one is about buying stuff. not the same thing at all.

do you really think building a pc gives insight into programming!?

Great idea to add relevant sub-Reddits - just put some of those on there!
