    "For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem." I still love it when I see that quote.

  I'd like to think that Show HN is "life changing". I'm not sure if it's true but I would be interested in people who did a Show HN and see what happened in terms of traffic/connections/outreach etc...

    I made a "Show HN" post a while ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6681238 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6681238), found my current job thanks to it (https://nylas.com https://nylas.com --- btw we're hiring) and moved to the US. Definitely life changing and I'm very grateful for it.
