It’s a platform I feel that allows you to see the talent behind work giving them a face and allowing you to connect. It’s a platform that always listens to its user base and innovates.

Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job.
