Sometimes I read a comment that I completely disagree with, but then I recognize the username and it's someone well respected on HN. So I enter a cycle of self doubts; "Am I out of touch? No, it's the HN elite that is out of touch."

The number of times I am forced to care about a city I don’t live in that also happens to be in the Bay Area where people’s problems are eerily similar to mine except they make 20x more money and forgot that it’s not very classy to brag about such things… Don’t get me started on all the Ivy League circle jerking that goes on here. Again, I didn’t have the privilege to go to an incredible school. And yet, I have now worked with many who did and found not much there, aside from wealthy friends and overconfidence.
