HN highlights your username in orange to indicate that you're a YC founder, and shows that you're a founder of Octolane on your profile. Disingenuous comments like this on a forum like HN are strongly discouraged.

Huh? The username looks like any other to me. The only other color I ever see is green for new accounts.

ah i think it's a feature for YC founders to identify each other, might not be on for everyone

Interesting hadn’t heard of this hidden feature. No, ordinary users of the site cannot see this.

It's in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html.

HN gives three features to YC: job ads (see above) and startup launches get placed on the front page, and YC founder names are displayed to other YC alumni in orange.
