HN has completely changed my life for the better. Reading about people working at big tech companies really opened my eyes and inspired me to move to the North American west coast and start seeking out more opportunities. That directly led to getting a job at Microsoft which was something I'd only ever fantasized about. After leaving Microsoft, I also found my current job through HN, in a "Who's Hiring" thread. It's a super flexible job that allows me to work remotely and have enough time to focus on my game development career on the side. These things don't even take into account my enjoyment of the informed, high-quality comments and overall high level of discourse I find on HN, as well as all of the awesome, informative articles people post on here. I wish more of the internet was like HN. I owe this site so much. Thank you, HN!
