While I was working on my “startup” one guy wrote me the following: “I lost my internship due to COVID. I’d like to help you guys with your project”.

After we released it, it went #1 on Hacker News. I put him everywhere in the credits. You can still see him in our “Team” section[2].
The next day he got 2 offers.

- artembugara 6y agoBecause it is business. I think we all should stop calling “startup” any project. But. That’s how people like to talk these days.
