Poll: What is HN made of?
I suppose engineers could be filed as "developers" because they develop stuff, but it would be nice if students was added.

Well there are electrical, mechanical, civil, chem, etc. engineers and I'm sure some of those are represented here, not just software engineers.

My point is that "developers" doesn't necessarily refer to software; it can refer to anyone who develops anything, including circuits, engines, bridges, and chemicals. But I agree, not the best choice of word.
