I've built this small website today and wanted to share with HN. I hope it's a cute reminder that people achieved great things even when they were older. Let me know if I should add other people and their achievements - I'd be happy to!

You have automated the production of jealousy! Good job :)

It's all downhill from here, isn't it...

For real though, I've been doing shadow work, spiritual practices, etc. Thought I was pretty advanced in regard to my own ego. But I was not prepared for this website!

That wasn't really the intention - I hope you can find it motivating as well :)
