That was a tragedy and an interesting story at the same time! I dived into it for about an hour and completely lost track of time.
Surprisingly, this story is ranked #8 [1] as the most upvoted HN story of all time.
The founder of Replit posted an apology [2], but got a storm of backlash.
Just a couple of weeks after joining the community, I quickly started noticing how powerful the HN community is. "Hackers" come here to post their complaints, pain points, and difficulties, and the community reacts in a positive way and, most of the time, gets their problems solved. Long life HN :)
