I personally am indebted to the HN community for the last 3.5 years of constant learning opportunities and positive interactions with like-minded people. While I recognize the other poster's complaint about feeling bad when they read HN, I myself am happy to be a member of a welcoming community that praises continuous improvement and provides external motivation to its members. I sometimes find myself awe-stricken by the talent of this community but then remind myself that it is better to look ahead to see how much I can aspire to instead of seeing how far behind I think I am.
