I've been on Hacker News for several years now, and I'm often surprised about the amount of content on stuttering that ends up on the front page. Being a stutterer myself, I find it nice that the community upvotes such content.
On a separate note, I wonder how many stutterers end up as software engineers or similar technology related work and as a corollary, how many people on Hacker News are stutterers. It would make sense that there would be quite a few; it's a vocation similar to writing, with a large amount of time spent not talking. It's also lucky that software engineering has an outsized impact in this day and age, so stutterers might actually do quite well!
