Ask HN: Who is the biggest tech celebrity that you know of who comments on HN?
I thought Richard Stallman commented here occasionally, but now taking a look for his profile I can't seem to find it.
- arthurcolle 7y agoProbably the Stripe brothers, or now @ayw
- flyGuyOnTheSly 7y agoWho is @ayw?
- mtmail 7y agoAlexander Wang of scale. "was recognized as Forbes 30 under 30" https://scale.com/press https://scale.com/press

- mindcrime 7y agoAlan Kay has been known to post here[1]. He hasn't posted in a long time, but rtm has also been on here[2]. Walter Bright is a relatively frequent poster[3].

- bradknowles 7y agoSorry, who is “rtm” in this context? Robert Tappan Morris is the only guy I can think of with those initials, and despite the worm he accidentally unleashed on the Internet many years ago, I wonder if he would try to keep a lower profile than being here on HN.
- mindcrime 7y agoYes, rtm is Robert Tappan Morris. He is - as I understand it - one of the co-founders of Y-Combinator[1], so it would be natural for him to have an HN account. Note though, that he hasn't exactly been a prolific poster here. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Tappan_Morris https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Tappan_Morris
