This title is a clever way of avoiding the stereotypical "Top X books for Y" that always seem to be an affiliate-mill article (anecdotally).

  This article is listicle blog spam trash. Additionally offensive is it conflates "hacker" with "startup founder" (said with irony on "hacker news").

    I was trying to be more diplomatic, but I totally agree :-)

    I was a little confused what they called an "indie hacker" and how they dedicated an entire website to such people. It's not conflating "hacker" with "startup founder". It's defining "indie" as "small startup founder" and "hacker" as "person who works in the software industry". As the exact target audience, it's kind of neat to me.

      They're also owned by Stripe which helps, since they don't really need the money that comes with being affiliate spam.
