Well, this is not a place for "hackers" with the hardcore definition of the term. The linux development mailing list or Lambda the Ultimate might be better candidates. There are people of all skills on HN, from hardcore C programmers, to front-end developers, to front end guys, to entrepreneur guys, to programming enthusiasts, to designers, to system administrators and operations guys.
The topic of the post is highly relevant to a lot of stuff, from thinking about UI problems, to iterating on a problem, to business decisions, to the avatar issue in specific, etc.
Much much better than the not so unusual fare of "Show HN: I made a clone of reddit in Visual Basic, come see" or "How we got burned storing customer credit card info in plain text on a in memory database on an old overclocked Pentium-III under a cupboard in our kitchen".
