Question for you, is my handle orange? I realized my company went stale after a pivot. Just curious if that is reflected on HN.
I was recently surprised by a bookface status change :) might need to reach out to say “hey still alive just not in the original form”.

Diff person here. Your handle is not orange, it is grey. I have not seen an orange handle. Grey or green (green for new accounts).

YC alum have orange handles. New accounts have green. Most the community has black. And I don’t know if there are other colors but I could imagine YC partners having their own.

That was not the response I would have ever expected. I am so curious about what your sensory experience is like.
#1 sounds a lot like stoicism.
