You're probably thinking it's a bit suspicious seeing that the account was made 62 minutes after the post was submitted. It could be that the user just browses HN regularly, saw this post about him, and wanted to separate his comment histories from his main account.
- standupmaths 8y agoYes: I normally lurk on HN. But people started messaging me when this reached the top, of course. I can confirm I don’t know or have any connection with the OP.
- SyneRyder 8y agoI can share how it happened. I logged into HN today to read more about the Apple/Amazon/China news, then almost spat out my coffee when I saw Matt was #1 on Hacker News. I went to high school & university with Matt, so it felt really surreal, and I immediately tweeted Matt to tell him: https://twitter.com/syneryder/status/1048507531352571904 https://twitter.com/syneryder/status/1048507531352571904
- standupmaths 8y agoI can confirm all of this is true. I mean, I don’t know how close SyneRyder was to spitting out coffee (or even if they were drinking coffee? how deep does this go?) but everything else is a fact.
