The learning resources people share here are fantastic and leveled me up by a lot.

Whether it is SICP, Conway's Game of Life book, great MOOCs in Coursera or whatever!

My life has been changed by the gems of learning resources shared as submissions and comments.

And not only text or text-like material, the amount of good books I have found in the comments here are better than all other communities combines. I cannot put up a complete list- I found about Neal Stephenson from HN, and Cryptonomicon is in my top-5 novels. I also loved Diamond Age. I learned to meditate with Culadasa's book which I came to know about in HN comments. Not exaggerating, my life has taken a good turn because of meditation. I can spend at least the next five years reading great fiction and nonfiction recommended here.

I also come to know about many mental models, methods, etc. which have made me better.

I was born in a middle class family, and never was poor. But these were all unknown to me. HN has been an equalizer for me.
