Tell HN: I Have Won HN

[neilv]

What an incredible journey it's been.

It took almost 7 years, and sometimes I lost hope that I would make it to a successful exit.

But today I am pleased to announce that I finally achieved the ultimate Hacker News karma:

  31337

I'll now be pivoting away from day-to-day HN responsibilities, into more of an occasional advisory role.

The maximum available points for that role is 32767, so I'll try to spend it wisely.

If anyone needs to hire a founder type, I know one who has freed up a lot of discretionary time, to spend on work.

He had the same problem. Someone upvoted the post and broke the charm.

Congratulations on your brief but unique victory!

Congrats! Don't spend it all in one place.

I was told I could redeem these points for a seed round?

My making this post you’ve now gone over and are no longer 31337. You flew too close to the sun.

Better take another look at your profile!

Congratulations! Does it roll over to negative when you reach the end?

We’ve got plans to investigate what number system they use.
