       Show HN: Hacker News Git Blame
        
       One night I was deep in a rabbit hole, reading old HN comments. I
       eventually ended up scraping a bunch of usernames and building a
       game!  Please suggest any other users who you'd want to
       see/upstanding members of the community who deserve to be featured.

       | list only has one option for someone from Cruise.
