Ask HN: Who are you?
HN is a great community. Just wondering what kind of people are active at HN: a uni student? an employee in a tech company? a founder of a new startup? an investor ? or??
Tell us who you are.
- maxwin 17y agoI will begin here. Rising college senior, bioinformatics major.
- Cows 17y agoEx-college kid. Working at Walmart ISD now for the time being.
- rawr 17y agoGo back. You'll make the debt up.
- Cows 17y agoGoing to a technical school instead. I can afford it in the long run.
- RobGR 17y agoI think at one time that was safe advice to anyone talking about college, but I think now, unless you know the amount of debt involved and other details, you can't just glibly toss that off. There are many people and situations where going to college or staying in college is not the best idea.
- Saavedro 17y agoSame, minus the ex- part. I live in an apartment with Cows and wish I had enough motivation and free time after my workweek (and school during the fall and spring) to throw together some android apps or some of my startup ideas. In my spare time I geek out about typography, music, and compilers.. or just sleep in.

- Femur 17y agoI create adventure. I leave slain dragons in my wake. I build monuments, plant flags, discover wonders, and lead armies. I sing duets, dance tangos, and play concertos. I cook banquets. I wheel, make deals, and strike bargains. I purchase fruit in large quantities. I partake and imbibe. I articulate, expound, and drive home the point. I maintain a strong moral fiber and act with integrity. I forge trails and bushwhack through jungles. When I am not walking, I am running. I sail and drive and fly and ride and crawl. I write encyclopaedias. I learn, study, forecast, ponder, and calculate. I know the answer. I am nice, warm, strong, creative, solid, confident, funny, intelligent, and a little crazy.
