If we can’t count on people on Hacker News to know that code runs on computers, what is this forum for?

Is Hacker News only for experienced coders who are already familiar with the inner workings of the ‘cloud’?

I’d like to think that this forum is also a place for the proverbial high school kid, who’s just learned JavaScript and deployed their first site to Vercel using their school Chromebook, to learn a thing or two from the greybeards.

    No. But it isn’t too much to expect people to know that code runs on computers and that the “cloud” is made up of computers running in a server room somewhere
