Why?
- amichail 16y agoBecause entrepreneurship involves rejection of authority -- namely a boss.
- retroafroman 16y agoOn the other hand, there are quite a few people here explicitly seeking the approval of other types of authority: angels, VCs, respected entrepreneurs, etc.
- bhousel 16y agoMost people on HN are neither rebels nor entrepreneurs. They have drifted here from other social news sites suffering from the Eternal September effect. In fact, I'd argue that this site has far more rigorous unwritten social rules than other sites. It feels like a priggish country club at times. The average HN user is concerned more with politeness than insightfulness.
