Wow it seems like back then there was a much higher concentration of founders/vc people on here. Just goes to show how big tech has gotten over the last 14 years.


In 2008 it had only recently changed names from 'Startup News', and YC was giving startup founders $6,000 each (+ $6,000) to do the program - this week I read about someone doing a pre-seed raise of $1.2 million!


By this rate, in 14 years we'll be seeing pre-seed rounds of $20 million!


I think it is even more about how big hackernews has gotten... slashdot was the place back then


RIP slashdot. Too many in-built ads now...


Yes, I go back to slashdot every now and then and cry. It was so good in its glory days.

Makes me wonder what will come after HN. Everything has a lifespan.


The constant employee shaming has scared everyone away.


the number of comments "back then" compared to now is a testament to how large HN and the tech ecosystem in general has grown.

Still had a good chuckle at someone commenting "This is one of those threads that just never dies" on a post with fewer than 40 comments, though.[0]

Part of it is an increase in the "tech" pie, but I think it's also a matter of people just becoming aware of Y-Combinator's Hacker News.

I was aware of Y-Combinator & Hacker News for a long time, but, for whatever reason, I never felt the need to make an account until 2020.


I think never dies was in relation to all the other similar threads from that time https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31441587
