No. I’m a long way — physically — from ‘the valley’, and I’m certainly not young.
When I say ‘HN’ I mean the day to day discussion on this site. I know there’s VC and whatnot here but really, mostly, that’s not what I’m reading. Perhaps I subconsciously avoid it?
I’m reading people who are passionate about technology. I’m reading nerds who love a new thing. That’s what brings me back here day after day.
- vasco 4y agoYou are making judgement calls on people's personalities based on not very much. HN is a public website, the discussions can be good and genuine and we can all be the same narcissistic psychopaths that are only here to accumulate HN karma that for some reason we value higher than money. Or we can all be dogs, it's the internet and you have no idea. I'd start taking online communities with a bigger grain of salt.
