I love HN. For me, this is the best online space to be. Among reading interesting content and amazing comments, HN helped me to make my career international.
In the last two years, I worked for 3 companies outside of Brazil. These were the first professional and international experiences of my life.
The first experience (Nyxt browser) is simply the best team I have ever worked with. The last experience is the current one which I am also very grateful to have. I particularly enjoy interacting with folks from the Bay Area, a place I have never visited but I dream about going one day.
In the middle, there was also a short project for a British company that I also got from the “Who is hiring thread”.
These experiences dramatically improved my family savings and exposed me to people that would be very hard to meet in my daily life.
Also, the first and last experiences are on the lisp family - which is a niche. It would be hard to have found them without the thread.
Thus, thank you very much, HN! My gratitude goes to those that run the website and to the community :)
