Tell HN: I Have Won HN
What an incredible journey it's been.
It took almost 7 years, and sometimes I lost hope that I would make it to a successful exit.
But today I am pleased to announce that I finally achieved the ultimate Hacker News karma:
31337
I'll now be pivoting away from day-to-day HN responsibilities, into more of an occasional advisory role.
The maximum available points for that role is 32767, so I'll try to spend it wisely.
If anyone needs to hire a founder type, I know one who has freed up a lot of discretionary time, to spend on work.

- giardini 9mo agoCongratulations on your brief but unique victory!
- Bender 9mo agoCongrats! Don't spend it all in one place.
- neilv 9mo agoI was told I could redeem these points for a seed round?
- defrost 9mo agoOnly after 49.71 days in the wilderness...
- neilv 9mo ago40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness, to be tempted by VC? I heard about a guy who didn't take the deal, and it didn't go well for him. That time, eventually there was a Hail Mary miracle rebound and exit, but you can't plan on that.
- midlander 9mo agoCongratulations! Does it roll over to negative when you reach the end?
- al_borland 9mo agoMy making this post you’ve now gone over and are no longer 31337. You flew too close to the sun.
