Sometimes famous tech people comment on hn. That makes me feel like im rubbing shoulders with giants in the field, while in practice its a unilateral and illusory connection.

This, posting on this site lets me interact with people who would probably never give me the time of day in real life. It feels like being a handyman who gets to hang around engineers. It's like getting a little taste of what being successful in this field feels like.

In a sense yes. But the main difference here is that on HN, the tech celebrity does not specifically target themselves to people who would like to be rubbing virtual shoulders with celebrities.
