Happy birthday, and thank you. Even though I have a bit of an HN addiction, it has helped me sound out a lot of different ideas and put them up for challenge in a way that would not been possible otherwise, and doing startup school in '18 was a significant personal and professional turning point. It's not just startups, users, and customers, you've enriched a lot of lives.

17 years seems like a long time, but looking back, it's not, and it's an example of how much all these things can grow. Cheers to another 17 years of finding and making things people want.
