What is with all the usage of “normies” in this thread???

Are we collectively deciding we are better than others simply because we pay attention to different things?

Seems really “my farts smell better than yours” childish to me.

'normies' is, and has always been, self-deprecating. We (people who use HN, et al) are 'nerds' and 'geeks' who understand tech beyond the surface layer and can immediately see the downside to using things like Muse. We're significantly in the minority, hence we're not 'normal'.
