Lol. Bitter much? Considering how much terrible advice is on this forum from people who wouldn't know the first thing about building a business, at least Patrick has a track record.
- cookiecaper 9y agoWhy would I be bitter? I have no personal animosity against Patrick. We don't compete in any meaningful way and I can only recall a few very limited interactions in the comment sections on HN. If anything, I feel a personal affinity for him, as I also ran a side business that ended up having a similar demographic to BCC (in a totally different sector). I have nothing against Patrick whatsoever and as I said, no one can blame him for taking advantage of the position that the social media gods awarded him. I just think he's overrated. I normally wouldn't comment just for that, but I guess I felt bad for the parent commenter taking all the heat, and wanted to let him know that he's not alone, and some of us are even willing to say it without using a throwaway. ;)
- goatherders 9y ago"I just think he's overrated" fair enough. I just think that a lot of HN folks drawn to business-oriented posts are trying to start something business oriented of their own. He has some useful things to say/write. Some of it good, some of it not. But usually interesting.
