It's a good community. The part I struggle with is the anti-science trend I've seen here over the last 10 years.
For me, it's the politics. There's a certain kind of user that keeps pushing them here, to people who don't care about them, and which are barely related to technology if even. If you point it out, they will say "everything is political"...
I sometimes forget that this is a venture capitalist website with a weirdly computer science name. Okay fine. You can have this one day, main YC website.

You visit every day for 15 years and never left a comment? That's kinda crazy. It makes me wonder if this is actually common and we don't realize.
I'm at ~19 years - HN as daily home page since inception :) Before HN, I used to hang out on Joel on Software and Eric's Business of Software forums; I occasionally used to post there and here but lost old accounts. If you have friends who have friends who has HN archeology skills and access, maybe I can recover my old account :)

If you comment once on HN you are easily in the top 5% of users by comment count.

dang is an amazing moderator
Nah, he's become a cynic. dang thinks Hacker News is a "swamp of amnesia". It's not a great attitude.
Started reading HN nine years ago, when I screwed up my third startup the year before, was devastated, and needed some inspiration. And among the shared news were stories that inspired me again, that made me come back to this site every single day ever since. I like the cultivated discussions, like the things I learn about, and I feel like I never miss any tech trend. Excellent community. Love it. Thank you PG, thank…
