Happy birthday to us! I joined 9 years ago but I definitely would have joined earlier if I knew HN exists. It's a never ending pleasure to discover new things, old things I didn't knew and learn interesting viewpoints and valuable bits of information trough comments. It's great that HN isn't restricting articles on one topic and everybody has the chance to find something interesting. I am mainly interested in software but I've read interesting stuff about economy, psychology, history, art, literature, science. I've got into the habit of appending news.ycombinator.com to Google search terms if I research something. Because if something is mentioned here is usually relevant for my interests.
