- legerdemain 4y agoA news website run by a VC firm that is also a startup accelerator? "Countercultural"?
- renewiltord 4y agoYeah, but the website community is decidedly anti-startup so that does make it countercultural in the local culture.

Sure, there is some anti-startup sentiments in the comments usually, but there is also comments anti-anything in the comments. HN is very much a startup-centric place if anything.
- goodpoint 4y agoNot at all, I'm saying that HN is coopting the word "hacker".
- legerdemain 4y agoAh, got it.
