This is great, congrats @ekzyis! Dialog has always been great so I agree, key to being a valuable contributor to this kind of website. Didn't know about him being behind the hn bot too, really like that.
Thanks for the kind words!
Even though I know we shouldn't care too much about the person behind words, I do know that bitcoin development is a meritocracy and thus you saying this about me does indeed mean a lot to me, haha
I've been looking for my spot in the bitcoin space where I can contribute the most according to my skills ever since I fell down the rabbit hole early 2021. What's funny is that yet; I initially turned down the offer from @k00b to join SN in March.
I didn't want to leave my current position so soon since there were some important changes happening regarding the stuff I was working on. I said I would take a break from studying during the upcoming winter term and then join SN for 6 months in October as an intern. It sounded too risky to me to join immediately, leave my old position and not look back.
But then I realized the chance I am passing up on and that this was what I was waiting for the whole time and fortunately, @k00b didn't find someone else already when I approached him a week after our first call. I wanted to work on open source, bitcoin and disruption of social media for a long time and SN sounds like the perfect fit :)
