Received a request[0] to upvote this post from Pete Soderling and I am pretty sure every member of Hakka Logs also received the same.

Not cool, guys.

Yes, it's true - we have a community built around our product, and oftentimes communities want to help/support each other. So I let our users know that we were on HN since it's an opportunity for them to make the platform stronger by adding many more awesome engineers to get matched to.

Why does the title have 'Dating' in it? Has nothing to do with romantic relationships.

Asking people to upvote posts is called a voting ring and is against the rules on HN. We penalize or ban accounts (and sites) that do this, so please don't.

I use this service and I like it. Many blog posts and engineering discussions tend to treat tools in isolation -- you're learning about Redis or Rails or Ember only. Being able to meet other engineers who use the same _combination_ of tools can help you learn about higher level design patterns and the interactions between the tools.
