I was obsessed with creating tech startups in my bedroom before I even knew what the term "startup" meant.

I was showing a friend a hosting service I built and he told me to check out Hacker News. This must have been around 2009.

Discovering HN quite literally changed my life in various ways. It's genuinely insane how much this site, and that conversation, has directly and indirectly been the source of various branches my life has taken.

Things were so fun and dynamic back then. This was back when people would post weird weekend projects here and within a few months were millionaires. I'm sure it still happens, but much less frequently.
