I doubt I count as anywhere close to the echo chamber (#65 right now).
On a side note, I wonder how many people on HN have actually met someone they recognize from HN?
- skinnymuch 4y agoProbably pretty rare since so many people don’t put detailed or full info of who they are. Or am I off here? As someone with that much karma, have you became friends with any one on HN? I realize it is exceedingly difficult to do without private messages and such.
- protomyth 4y agoNot really. I think you hit it on the head as there is actually no contact on HN except replies. I know a couple of handles that I either really like or don't, but have no personal knowledge of them. I do admit that I've never been able to go to one of the meetups people have done. The only person I know I have met was really secondary to HN. I met Bryan Cantrill (bcantrill) at Systems We Love in Minnesota. I sent him a t-shirt from the college I worked at.
- bcantrill 4y agoThank you for that, BTW -- that shirt had barely hit the drawer before my teenager stole it from me (curse of having kids the same size!) and I know that it has ended up in his rotation. It was great meeting in person in Minnesota, and thanks again for the shirt!
- protomyth 4y agoGlad to hear it. The three wolves shirt hasn't been printed in a while (COVID killed team sports). It makes me chuckle a kid out there is wearing a shirt from a TCU on a ND reservation. We must be big time.
- walterbell 4y agoPeople may be surprised how many are not in the echo chamber, or peer echo chambers.
- fragmede 4y agopatio11 showed up as a speaker at an event, and the only reason I'd heard of him at the time was HN.
