I respectfully disagree with the latter part (as for the former, you’re obviously free to like or dislike anything :)). I think we should each play to our strengths - and this is especially true in marketing. If this is what ends up grabbing someone’s eye where they would have otherwise ignored it, then good for the author. It’s unusual to launch a startup at that age, and therefore (in my view) interesting and merits discussion.

Agreed, if anything, I actually would have liked to hear a little more about the author, given the title. A lot of startups have founder backstories weaved into their pitch. 'Who are you, and why are you doing this?' can be an interesting story to tell.

  I think it was interesting too. I'm going to mention to my parents and a neighbor who is 78 (and btw goes out skiing once or twice a week and races with the younger people). And nice to see that apparently I'll be able to work into my eighties, no problems

  Hello, yaseer. Thanks for your comments. Actually,here is my linkedIn profile.[1] I have had a wonderful life to date. Like everyone else, wonderful achievements and devastating disappointments. Life comes at us hard sometimes. For me I have always believed I did the best I could with the information I had available. So when something bad happens, its never the end of the world, so it isn't the event that is important, it is how you respond to the event that is important. I'm happy to wake up in the morning and realize that I am just a small grain of sand on a very big beach.Thanks for asking.

Thank you but I know how clickbait works and I prefer my hacker news without it.
