Kudos to you for responding to comments like these with patience and class. The cynicism on here about doing anything other than starting your own business drives me up the wall, but comments like yours help me keep my head.
- lukeqsee 16y agoI was wrong with my original assertion that he is a "poor guy." He is on top of the world right now. He's got a huge opportunity in front of him. I was wrong, and the patience of HN people is amazing. Thanks. I think there is always danger when you take an 8-5 job that you begin to lose your desire to "hack"; I don't think he will. I can't wait to see his work, and, as always, wish him the very best.
- Psyonic 16y agoThanks, lukeqsee. I appreciate that. While I understand that its not unheard of for 8-5's to swallow good hackers, there are plenty of people with the drive to hack working day jobs, and not necessarily because they aren't brave enough to take the plunge. I'd also like to point out that startups can cause hackers to lose the desire to "hack" as well. After the initial stages, so much time is required on other things that hacking often falls by the wayside, and often is never really picked up again.
