HN lurkers such as dlsspy, pquerna, and zedshaw are my hacker heroes. They need not introductions but I suppose links won't hurt: http://hackerne.ws/user?id=d

- nopassrecover 16y agoInteresting, I don't know of these except zed shaw from article titles (catchup time). I do know wheels and patio911 are always a good read though
- ismarc 16y agostrangely enough, I run into wheels a lot in #startups but rarely see his comments.
- michaeltwofish 16y agoI like that. A lot of heroes go quietly about their business of making the world a little better, without having to wear their underpants on the outside to draw attention to themselves.
- whatusername 16y agoI'm not sure you can describe Zed Shaw as someone who doesn't draw attention to himself.
- michaeltwofish 16y agoFair point, though I was speaking more generally about heroes :)
- gojomo 16y agoFYI, the domain 'hackerne.ws' is registered by someone other than YC. Even if it currently resolves to the same machine, it might not in the future. Even if the current owner's intentions are pure, the domain could lapse into someone else's control. So, better not to promote, nor login-to, 'hackerne.ws' URLs, unless it becomes the canonical domain linked from http://ycombinator.com http://ycombinator.com. (Why does it work? Seems the News.YC code doesn't care about the 'Host' header in requests, which it really ought to, so that people don't get into a habit of using sketchy URLs that could bite them down the road.)

- gojomo 16y agoI'm familiar with the history. Whatever eusman's original stated intentions with the domain, my points stand. Using/linking-to News.YC via a nonofficial 3rd-party domain is a risky habit. You should also note the claimed owner of the 'hackerne.ws' domain left as an active user in a huff over 2 years ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=151412 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=151412
- jcsalterego 16y agoOh, well I will continue using hackerne.ws in my browser but refrain from propagating the URLs. Cheers.
