That sounds too long, by about 5 years.

Sounds like at least 4-5 years.

A couple months shy of five years?

"some years" is bearing quite a bit of load there.

Give them at least 3-4 years ;)

astura • Jan 16, 2020 • View on HN

Five years? More like the last 20+.

compsciphd • Oct 31, 2017 • View on HN

seems a little bit more than 5 years...

ryandrake • Jul 8, 2024 • View on HN
