If not for an HN "Who's hiring" post I'd probably still have my safe job writing internal apps for an insurance company in Albuquerque; instead I'm back living in beautiful San Diego (my favorite city) and I get to see the ocean every day on my drive to my current awesome job. So add me to the list of people for whom HN changed their life. :)

I guess you're not the only person to take a wrong turn at "Albuqoike"

Sorry. Look at my handle; I couldn't resist :-)

Glad you changed your life and are happy with it... What was special about post that captured your attention?

It was that it was in San Diego doing Java at a company doing cutting edge wireless stuff with their own hardware. San Diego + Java + doing something new == whoohoo! :)
