Glad you liked it!

I wish HN had a feature to follow or anotate users. Not the first time I meet someone interesting I know from another space here on HN. However, without such feature, I shall forget the username.

Create a bookmark category for HN users you want to follow, and bookmark their comment pages.

You can use Hacker News RSS [0] and subscribe to a user's feed [1] via https://hnrss.org/user?id=USERNAME

[0]: https://hnrss.github.io/

I figured since for Reddit this functionality is provided by RES, for HN it should be HNES so I searched "hacker news enhancement suite" and found this [1] which does list "Ability to tag users" among its features.

Just taking a second to appreciate you and your work. I have one of the first ever Theme System Journals. While I've grown older and now no longer watch your videos as religiously as before, I do still follow along Cortex.

I was a patron for Hello Internet. Though I doubt it will, I hope you guys can one day bring it back. So many fond memories :)

Thank you for your hard work and almost-always insightful remarks!

What happened to HI though? They seemingly stopped doing it without any reason and I really liked it. Thankfully Cortex is a lot like HI and I enjoy it a lot.

This question is raised every time Grey or Brady pop up anywhere. Although it's understandable (Hello Internet was great!), I've become a lot more sympathetic after watching a Patrick Rothfuss video about how it dehumanizing it feels to constantly be asked nothing besides when Famous Thing is coming back:

Are you really CGP Grey? If so, thank you for your high quality videos! (Science) educators like you make YouTube and the internet a better place :)

(Ooh, I had a quick question if you don't mind - how did you get into animating the videos in the beginning? I'm also hoping to make sciencey/educational/technical videos on YouTube but I don't have any animation/software experience. Right now I'm just planning to draw static images/diagrams on my iPad and use that for the video, like a slideshow.)

Yes it's really me -- I don't often comment on hacker news, but it was just funny to come across my own video here.
