Hacker News Reader

> That guy on TikTok would be me. :)

This is something I adore about hacker news.

Person a: “I saw a person doing something super interesting the other day”

Person b: “Hi! That was me.”

Happened to me just a week ago (I was person a)

Hi! I love your content.

On the subject of Garry though, there's a lot of credible evidence to the contrary (eg [1][2]).

He's got some kind of autoblocking going on. Apparently I'm blocked even though I didn't even know who he was until a week ago, and I barely use Twitter (110 followers). I do follow some people involved in SF housing reform.

I kept seeing you on tiktok and you kept reminding me of someone I met years ago and after a while it dawned on me that we met at a hackathon something like 11 years ago. Small world! Love your content.

Haha yeah! I did a 160 hackathons over several years and then quit entirely about 9 years ago. About when google acquired my company. Was hard doing hackathons while at google.

I love you
