There's been a lot more reflective, humanity stories on HN.
Or maybe I'm just noticing more.
I've been on HN since 2007.
There was that story a few weeks ago with the aging parents and their daughter that took a picture of them waving goodbye, each year she visited.
I like these stories. It gives me pause and to wonder what it's all been for.
Probably for my kids. My second oldest (9) loves creating levels in Geometry Dash. He'll probably be an engineer.
He asks great questions. He can teach himself new tricks from YouTube videos. He asks for critical feedback on his levels. That's a good start.
I'm just rambling.
- anal_reactor 2y agoThere are three groups of people on HN: - kids who just graduated and realize that they've been told lies and need some life advice - midlife crisis - retirees who can see the death slowly approaching and reevaluate their lives in panic

- jjw1414 2y agoWhich group are you in?
- anal_reactor 2y agoFirst one
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y agoPersonally I intend to have as many midlife crises as I can afford
- khoo 2y agoI feel like the major life events always put our life span into a perspective that otherwise might be missed or overlooked. It makes life feel shorter than it is. Btw, which post are you referring to? I am curious to read it as well.

- fuzzy_biscuit 2y agoI like seeing these on HN. Occasionally the hyper focus on tech makes me feel inhuman. Stories like these remind me not to forget how much else there is beyond my narrow world as a web dev. You kid sounds amazing. Be proud and ramble on.
