>I know that the HN "founders" crowd is going to hate me for saying that, but I think that we should really stop glamorizing revenue. Understand your perspective but what's happening is that many programmers -- including non-founders -- on HN are drawn to factoids of devs making money without "working for the man". Many examples of this that repeatedly resonates with the HN audience: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=side%20money&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... So instead of characterizing it as "glamorizing revenue" ... think of it more like... "if that programmer found a way to make money outside of a corporate job, maybe I can too." So Ivan Kutskir being able to get significant revenue while just being a 1-man operation will naturally be an interesting case study for programmers who dream of a little financial freedom.
