my name's Muhammad Usman, let me tell you, there are 1000s of us out there if not more. It's very hard to get a username without numbers on any site except somehow I got it on HN :D
I've been reading HN almost daily for almost a decade now. I found it through a friend who has taught me a lot about programming, the internet, and nerdy things in general. When I discovered HN, it felt like I had a whole community of people similar to my friend who introduced me to it.
