Yeah sorry, I started writing the comment, then had deja vu, so I looked at my HN history, realized I'd already said it better before, and thought it was worth just pasting the previous one. Not automated.

Sivers is an OG. Definitely not a bot. I've looked at sivers.org/multiply at least once per year for the last 15 years.

Derek is so cool. I'm a huge ruby nerd and his approach to coding is so refreshing. [1] No libraries except sqlite for instance.

I clicked the comments section hoping to see sivers response because I remember him mentioning it before. I’m glad I did.
