I guess this is to be expected. HN is totally not the target audience for this. A closed, proprietary coding system is bound to be scrutinized by a site that has “hacker” in its name.
No idea what that tweet is meant to say though. People who are critical about startups are never successful? Really? You can easily argue for the opposite.
- maximilianroos 7y agoThe tweet is supposed to say: If 95% of things fail, you'll be correct 95% of the time by calling each thing a failure. But you'll never be in the 5% yourself. (sure, an exaggeration to say you'll never be successful, but such is 140 characters) (Agree with your points re audience. I'd hope people can differentiate between things they don't use and things that are useless)
