As someone who joined 2 days ago it seemed you have got what I hope to get out of HN, thank you for your insights. I can't help to feel there are times where you would have said the complete opposite about this?
Actually, not so much. I was really hooked right from the start and while I had a couple of frustrations now and then, I never really left HN and kept a strong interest in it. Do hang on, even if you don't understand most of topics at first.
