While I've never worked with YC directly (though have lots of friends who have been involved with YC in one way or another), I found HN during the pandemic and it has been my favorite place on the internet ever since. I have learned so much from this community, across so many different disciplines. I truly cherish the community we have here and I thank Dang, PG and others for maintaining this gem in a hidden corner of the internet. And while I agree there have been some changes even in the time I've been a part of the site, it's still the best online group of people I've ever come across. Thank you also to all of you who make this such a great, informative, inclusive community.
