I'm thankful for Hacker News and its community. I am successful largely in part because of the community and its discourse. I was introduced to the growth mentality when browsing this site back in 2010, and astonished by how open and humble people approached their failures. This resonated with a lot of my personal struggles. However taking on a growth mindset put me on the right course and helped me take on increasingly larger scope and responsibilities at work, and also improved my relationships with family and friends. Fortunately I'm now in a position where I can help shape culture, and pushing for learning and open mindedness has been an underlying principle for many of my actions.
