No, it appears the "technologists" here on HN (such as yourself) are now people who are techno-pessimists through and through, don't see the big deal in new breakthroughs, aren't excited about technology at all really, can't extrapolate a trend a few years into the future, and would rather quit their job and do wood working.
Is there another forum where all the hackers went, I think I want to go somewhere else.
Edit: I take the part about wood working, I think that's a reasonable response to the way today's tech jobs make us feel. I know many people who'd like to quit and just work on side-projects (or wood working), but they don't hate technology itself, that's the difference.
