I think Joel Spolsky mentioned something about "the ycombinator kids" in one of his blogs many, many years ago. Can't find a link to it but that's where I first heard the name and investigated.
- decasteve 12y agoI came here by way of reddit, by way of Spolsky. I first heard of reddit from Joel Spolsky when he mentioned it sometime in late 2005 or early 2006, which is where I discovered of Paul Graham and ycombinator. For a long time a blog post by Paul Graham was the top up-voted article, with a few hundred upvotes. I was active on reddit from 2006-2009, then migrated to Hacker News. I now frequent HN but reddit has devolved into a image board for memes.
