I wonder how much of the HN readership was not even born then....?
- codetrotter 2y agoProbably a decent number. I first heard of HN around 2010 when I was in university. I assume that plenty of university students find their way to HN still. And that many of them will have been born around the mid-2000’s. I only barely make the cut myself to having been born a few years before 1993.
- dbl000 2y agoCan confirm. Recent graduate who found HN during my second year at university.
- dang 2y agoThat's good! Do your friends know about / use HN? (Sorry for conscripting you as a guinea pig but it's hard to get this kind of info!)
- sureglymop 2y agoPerson born in 2000 here. My friends and colleagues at university generally don't know about HN. Have told a few people about it but the only person I really converted into also becoming a regular reader is my dad. It's good because now whenever we see each other we have a lot of topics and stuff to discuss that we both read about here.
- pvg 2y agoHN is officially a dad site now.
- tkgally 2y agoOne of the nice things about HN is the wide age range of the participants. I have read interesting and thoughtful comments from people who said they were high school students all the way through to people a decade or more older than me (I'm sixty-seven).
- ubermonkey 2y agoOTOH, I first read the article when it ran in 1993.
