It's tough to take this too seriously since it seems you created this name just to make this comment. What approaches did you try before 'owing your career to gatsby'?
- dunerat 7y agocheck out my reply above - the owing my career to gatsby is very much about my specific story - a story that is probably very different from most hackernews contributors but maybe some aspects of it are more common for the lurkers here, of which I am one. I would honestly be interested to know how many self taught people making things work building basic sites for unglamorous corners of the internet cruise this site. To be honest I don't really feel welcome here because I'm not sophisticated (prob the best word for it) enough. But that's ok.
- dang 7y agoI run Hacker News. We're not interested in sophisticated; we're here for curiosity. If have that, which I'm sure you do, then you're welcome here, so please don't let a single comment make you feel otherwise. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- dang 7y agoPlease follow the site guidelines, which ask you to Assume good faith: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Consider that the downside of your being wrong is that you drive a newcomer away from this community. That's surely not what you want, and definitely the opposite of what this place is for.
