I suppose this is the literary equivalent of a software developer writing an article "No, you probably can't program computers"

- dalbasal 8y agoI can't tell if you're asking for more or less curmudgeonry.
- throwaway2016a 8y agoNeither. I was actually trying to make a joke to relate this to a typical HN article. I suppose it didn't come out right.
- CPLX 8y agoI think a better analogy would be an article along the lines of "Sorry, your good idea isn't necessarily a startup"
- vortico 8y agoRight, but based on the article title and phrase that's repeated throughout the article, it would be called "You can't write a computer program", but the point of the article will be "your good idea isn't necessarily a startup."
