If I pull out my phone I go right to HN, or the current book I'm reading. I'm definitely old now...

Same here. In a sense HN is a sort of restricted social network for me, or even a tribe if you wish.

Except we don't gather around the fire anymore, we gather around a website and exchange stories not of hunting animals, but hunting bugs.

I'm still fairly new to HN but I love the quality of posts and expertise in almost every technical thread.

I think 27 is old for HN, so I'm right there with ya. The tinder and snapchat generation blew right by me. I still use twitter and instagram, but I don't immediately reach for them. I typically go to HN, an article, or another piece of reading material when I'm bored.

Given majority of people exit their companies and retire by 30 - 35 these days, 27 is becoming quite old in the HN workforce.

Haha I'm 28, from the doom and gloom I read on HN about age discrimination I should be entering retirement! :(
