Tim Ferris? People sneer at him because he's dishonest. More specifically, people sneer at "ramen profitable" because its a dead end - because you end up squandering the most important years of your career on low-end jobs when you could be playing the standard career game of your twenties that lead to careers that pay sufficient salaries in your thirties that let you have a family, own a house, a car, a health-care plan, so that if (when) someone in your family suffers a health problem you have sufficient cushion to deal with it. Most of the people on HN could (and probably many of them do, you just don't hear about them) walk away from the startup culture for _real_ jobs. Or to summarize, "startup culture" actually has to compete with the "salary man culture" to be something other than a big scam. And Ycombinator is mostly about the big exits.
