Andrew Warner's Mixergy Celebrates 1,000th interview
One of the reasons Mixergy took off is the Hacker News community helped me.I used to call up people who complained about my work on HN. I wasn't mad at them. I really wanted to get feedback, and I knew there were smart people on this site.I got my guests from here too. Somewhere in the comment archive, you'll see Derek Sivers agreeing to do an interview because I responded to his HN comment about offering to help people in this community.When I moved to Argentina and didn't know anyone, I organized a Hacker News meetup. I made more than startup/work friends. I met people like Chad DePue, whose family became close with me and my wife.I know we talk about improving the comments on HN, and I'm always for improvement, but there's a huge amount of value here right now. And there has been for years.I know this could sound sappy, but thank you Hacker News.
