Stumbled upon HN when I was around 14-15 (took me a while to work up the nerve to make an account)! Had been fairly familiar with ESR's Hacker Manifesto at that point (probably found that at around age 11?), and I think I was searching for something related to that? I've been reading it fairly consistently since. Was and still am a fan of the interesting random links, though I've been enjoying the technical ones a bit more in my "old" age.
