Congrats! I remember seeing one of your projects, finding it cool, and checking your profile and site.

HN is indeed a good platform for a kind of disperse networking. I got approached by a friend whose boss saw my posts/comments on HN, somehow talked about it to my friend, who recognized my username (which is both memorable for Brazilians and my actual nickname) and asked him to recruit me.

And I don't even ever got a hit post.
