I can't believe I've been a HN user for 14 years. Things come and go but HN was one of the very very few web sites that I visited pretty much every day for this whole time. Except for rare hiking trip days. It's also amazing how the spirit and the quality stay more or less the same here. I guess not all Eternal September effects are alike.

Unlike some, I have never sworn off HN and left in a huff.
HN is where I learned about the drawbacks of where internet tech was going. Many of us started with a desire to build sticky sites and apps, but as some startups mastered this, it became obvious that this was two-edged sword.
I miss PG being on, but I completely understand why he left. It got to the point where he couldn't say something as simple as "The sky is blue" without a dozen negative and nitpicking replies. No fun.
Interesting to see how stable the design of Hacker News has been. Here’s the earliest I c Ould find in the Wayback Machine – from 21st February, 2007: https://web.archive.org/web/20070221033032/http://news.ycomb... Some changes – most notably the name – but you could easily mistake it for the current design at a glance.

Which is interesting, considering it's so bad on mobile.
