Learned about it through YC and its startups (Heroku in particular). Google "startups" and you tend to end up on a YC page pretty fast, and on HN soon after.

Happy Birthday!

I came across HN while searching for code examples for forums (strangely enough). This was when Digg was still relevant, but someone suggested looking to alternatives for link sharing and HN came up in the conversation.

I lurked around for a long time and then finally joined.
