Yes, I'm wondering. I thought HN was a startup forum.

  If only YC members (or hopefuls) frequented these forums this would be a dead place

    You don't have to be a YC member, but I'd go so far as saying HN is startup-hostile nowadays. Remember the indie hacker making $45k a month recently getting torn down for his work?

      Too many fixed mindset types around here, thinking that chasing jira tickets is the type of problem solving that matters or that plumbing apis is puzzle solving. Forum might just as well replace hacker with worker and call it worker news. The only types of problems some want solving is how to increase taxes on those that solve actual problems and how to release yet another ai to leech off of other people's hard work. All while being ordered to return to offices like herds to a barn. Nothing hacky about it frankly.

        Out of curiosity what problems are you solving?

        100%. Mostly wagies crunching through JIRA tickets and earning a comfy enough salary with strong opinions on how business works, having never done anything close to it.

  HN is not only not a forum - it is a news aggregator, but also not only about startups It is mostly about interesting things with emphasis on tech and business It serves as ad place for jobs in yc startups

  Most are comfy employees I'd say from the general vibe of the comments.

    It's mostly my fellow Germans, being honest.

  The HN community hasn't been about startups in a looong time.

The only way that statement is true is if you believe the entire success of the tech industry is the code. Nothing else. Not the other parts of a functioning business - marketing, client relations, public relation, finance, business strategy, etc. That’s a pretty absurd assumption. And think of it this way. Google revenue is $1.5M per employee. Profit is 24%. That’s $360k of profit per employee (yeah I know costs include employee wages, but bear with me). Seems like ultra-elite-10x coders who make $400k+ are skimming a pretty respectable chunk of the returns, no?
