This is Hacker news. It's news for people who want to fuck around with tech.
- rvz 5y ago> Why even go to a site like HN if your goal is purely to make money? Yet this site seems to be hosted by a company whose goal is purely about making money by investing in companies they find which are likely to give huge returns. i.e A VC fund. So rewriting it in Rust for the sake of Rust is irrelevant to them and doesn't give any advantage whatsoever and won't get their attention.
- krapp 5y agoYes. Many wannabe entrepreneurs come here hoping to gain "street cred" and get their "insightful" comments and projects noticed by YC, hoping to parlay that into funding or hoping a launch on HN will do for them what it did for others (like Dropbox.) Believe it or not Hacker News is serious business, there's a reason the staff is so guarded about releasing any code or hints about their algorithm that could be gamed.
