It gave me a job, a company, and a sense of purpose. In 2012 I did a Show HN for GitLab.com https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4428278 Today we are 1800 contributors and a company of 220 on a mission to ensure that everyone can contribute.

You only got ~60 upvotes?

Interesting, I always thought the number of upvotes for a Show HN post correlates to its future success.

I believe 60 upvotes at the time is probably equal to >150 upvotes today.

Upvote inflation, interesting!

Somebody should mine the data and calculate year-over-year inflation rate, we have a mini economy on our hands! :)
