Thank you Dan Gackle for making this site my happy place, the only place on the internet that I read every day. Thank you all for posting and upvoting the interesting stories. Thank you for replying to my comments. Thank you for upvoting them. Thank you for downvoting them, too. I come here to learn and be amazed at knowledge, creativity, and kindness.

Dang is the traffic cop + mom + cool older cousin + prison warden that HN needs, and I think that's what's allowed this place to stay so great.

I always assumed dang was an Asian name. Didn't realise it was a Dan G :-)

I’d bet somewhere deep in the organization SME has a SME SME.

Happy thanksgiving!!

I actually find stuff and learn stuff on here that's relevant to both my personal and professional development.

Stuff I've learned here includes: how to manage my own time better and make better decisions, how to do better code testing, lots of pro- and anti- crypto stuff, and a ton more. I've also discovered things like Svelte JS, CUE Lang, and a ton of other tools I use daily.

So thanks, HN!!

Non-American but I do truly appreciate any holiday that puts emphasis on taking stock of what, and who, you are lucky enough to have in your life. Keep on hacking and posting folks, and I'll remain thankful for many years to come!

For those that are alone, remember the world is full of serendipity and the desolate years can change. For those in groups, be thankful for those you break bread with and the paths that led them to your table.

Some people are both at the same time. You can be in a social group yet feel bitterly alone at the same time. That's essentially what I used to feel like.

Dang is a bloody excellent moderator. I personally love his more talkative and eloquent tone, instead of the "can you stop", "just follow the rules or fuck off" attitude other moderators seem to have. He's a bit of a role model to me, so I do tend to try and watch how he moderates and blend it into my own style.
