Ask HN: How did you first discover HN?

I found it through my colleague.

At any given time I track a half dozen people. They're bright and what they're saying really resonates with me. I read everything they write and watch any interviews that I can find.

After reading PG's essays he went on my list. I was really busy at the time so I was behind on my reading and didn't learn about HN's creation for 2-3 weeks. Joined when I did and it quickly became a daily habit.

I think it was this article https://techcrunch.com/2008/03/10/little-known-hacker-news-i...

My oldest son introduced me to the writings of Paul Graham. I'm not quite sure how that got me to Hacker News, but that was the gateway.

I wanted to see the Arc language in production after reading about it.
