I know this is hacker news, and that the programming part of doing a startup is accepted as the most important part of a venture. So this will probably be unpopular. But I think that you are hitting an interesting point: you could develop hacker news in about a week and I'm sure it is accurate if you say so. But a fully developed site ready for launch is only a small step on the road to fame and riches. A lot of people fail to see this. (not you of course, other people)
