Is it cool now to just link to landing pages where you sell things now?
Am I missing something?
Why the hell are people upvoting a “buy now with discount code” page?
- ddorian43 5y agoHopefully we can have some conversation about the ecosystem and state of rust for backend webapps.
- wokwokwok 5y agoYou can link to any kind of meaningful content to do with rust and do that. This is using HN as an ad platform.
- steveklabnik 5y agoHN pretty much originally existed as way to advertise ycombinator. Entrepreneurs make up a huge HN demographic. Marketing, sales, and advertising is a regular topic. “Show HN” is a special tag for certain kinds of marketing to HN users. Doesn’t seem out of place to me, to be honest.
- rob74 5y agoBecause Rust?
- davidwparker 5y agoI upvoted it because: 1. HN, in my experience, is an extension of ycombinator. Since it's this guy's entrepreneurial thing, I think that's relevant. 2. I'm interested in Rust, though I've never used it. 3. I'm the target demographic for this. edit: formatting
- darthrupert 5y ago> I'm interested in Rust, though I've never used it. Yep, that's how most people seem to feel about it before they try it.

- johnwheeler 5y agoWhat discount code?
- Xevi 5y agoI think it depends on your country. I got a 20% discount, which appears to offset the VAT I have to pay. > You'll be charged US$62.01, including US$12.40 for VAT in <my country>.
- greyhound 5y agoSeems like hackernews will upvote anything Rust. I have to say, I've never tried the language, but I'm completely sold.
