I joined in college and HN has always been a leading indicator of technology for me. At first I was a lurker and around 2009 all I saw were articles on Rails and Bitcoin. Fast forward 5 years of time wasted by a young adult and Bitcoin becomes a missed opportunity (I know, still wasn't, but how could anyone know for sure?) meanwhile Rails hype plateaued here on HN. Anyway, now anytime there's heavy mention of anything, I do my fair share of due diligence and have been a lot more successful because of it. Thanks HN!
