HACKER Q&A

Who/what introduced you to Hacker News? How long have you been here?


I'm a pretty recent (active) user here. It's been less than a week.

I was introduced to it quite a while ago due to YC, and us applying as a tech startup.

Also came across stories of viral or pretty successful HN launch posts by fellow startups.

And ofc, heard some pretty great things about the candidness of the community.

How about you?

All programming forums I was previously active on, just effectively stopped their existance. Some of them literally, some of them made moderation too severe to be useful, some of them got flooded with semi-advare. Medium stopped being interesting. IRQ stopped being a place with any users online. HN is the last island of freedom.

2019 and I don't remember how. I don't even do anything computer related, but I'm interested in it. I remember seeing the design of the forum and imidiatly fell in love with it.
