It's a shame that I'm actually posting this, but I feel I need to add some empirical data to these claims. I did a quick scan of his HN profile and found these: Working personally: http://dentafy.com http://dentafy.com http://mymedcareer.net http://mymedcareer.net http://whatsinourcloset.com http://whatsinourcloset.com & http://ticketsplz.com http://ticketsplz.com I bring to your attention that every single site is a parked page. This reminds me of 4 years ago when I had all the ideas in the world, but had to mature a lot to finally be able to realize ideas are bullshit, and there's a long road ahead. I do not intend to kick this guy while he's down, but only to highlight what we all already know - he has a lot of growing up to do.

to be clear most of those ideas are friends and family who asked me to help. I haven't had the time to get to them because I've been working...

  Then it's completely fine of you not to link to them. I link to one of my sites in my profile, and not to cirqueti.com or omegaseye.com because they're essentially splash pages. When I get the one off the ground, I'll link to it; until then, there's nothing wrong in maintaining radio silence about it.

    Sorry I didn't know there were rules for your HN profile. I changed it.

      They aren't rules so much as guidelines. It's more a matter of "what about you do you want to make public?" If you link to a bunch of dead sites as your only info, it gives off a bad vibe.

Looks like he took the links down. I'm in the opposite position...I've been procrastinating on a much-needed update for my portfolio and my past six months' work (which is by and large better than my first three years) needs to get up there. What's stopping me is that I'm simultaneously rebuilding my company (freelance) site, and I keep going...Drupal! No, now it's Cake! No, Chay says I should do it from scratch! No, Drupal really works! And on and on... I need to take a weekend and just finish the damn thing.
