That sounds too long, by about 5 years.

Sounds like at least 4-5 years.

A couple months shy of five years?

srtjstjsj Nov 3, 2020 View on HN

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

Give them at least 3-4 years ;)

jacquesm Jan 29, 2010 View on HN

I'd make that years not months.

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

At this point, years only. No more specific than that.

"A few years" may be rather generous...
