To get even more meta, isn't it quite incredible that 17y later not only does the blog still exist, but we have the author and a key subject (or person behind subject) in the same comment section?
Not even like it's particularly niche, 80s arcade games ported to 90s machines forum dot net or something.
It's not like we died or decided to suddenly switch careers and become car salesmen or something. I was just a blogger. I find it even more amazing when someone truly important or influential comments on HN on things they worked on, say in the 1990s. A while ago there was a thread about Sun Microsystems GUI which used PostScript and one of the original developers chimed in and I was astounded.
Sure, sorry, I just thought it was nice. Yes obviously even older is even nicer. A lot of just bloggers 17y ago won't still have their blog (or not that one) up, these things rot. And then just you and someone it had a particular affect on happening to be in the same comment section (about something else) at the same time and noticing... Idk, whatever, I just thought it was nice!
