On a personal note, I wanted to thank the HN community. I’ve been reading HN since college (for over 15 years now!) and it’s been formative in my development as a software engineer and leader.
I don’t pipe up very often, but I visit HN almost every day. Many of the books I read, blogs I frequent, and podcasts I listen to, I found via HN. I think it’s fair to say, if it weren’t for HN, that Bitrig wouldn’t be Bitrig and SwiftUI wouldn’t be SwiftUI.
- rufugee 1y agoHello fellow lurker. I for one am glad you are here ;-) And I echo the thanks. HN has made me a better technical professional in so many ways.
- codruterdei 1y agoThat’s great and I’m glad you feel good here. I think it’s time for you to share what you found over the years on HN with us. Your curated list, if you will.
- kylemacomber 1y agoThis isn't exhaustive, but quickly top of my head: - How to Win Friends and Influence People — This was really eye opening to me and helped me more productively engage in a large organization like Apple. - Sam Harris's podcast — I'm always interested to hear his takes on the controversial topics of the day as well as more philosophical and philanthropic ones. - The Knowledge Project podcast — I don't listen to this as much anymore but a few years ago I was a regular listener. - Simon Willison’s blog — The highest signal to noise way I've found to stay up to date with developments in AI.
