Eh this guy is patio11, he's a practically celebrity around these parts!

I'm pretty sure davidw knows that and said it tongue-in-cheek. davidw has been on HN a long time and is, himself, high up on the highest karma list of people.

I actually met patio11 in person at MicroConf Europe, last year. He's a nice guy, and some of his BCC stories are very entertaining.

"I'm pretty sure davidw knows that"

35k karma (davidw) means more than "pretty sure" I'd say that's certainty.
