Yes, I'm wondering. I thought HN was a startup forum.
- nextlevelwizard 3y agoIf only YC members (or hopefuls) frequented these forums this would be a dead place
- ejlxsh 3y agoYou 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?
- gumballindie 3y agoToo 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.
- nextlevelwizard 3y agoOut of curiosity what problems are you solving?
- deconstruct 3y ago100%. 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.
- hardware2win 3y agoHN 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
- deconstruct 3y agoMost are comfy employees I'd say from the general vibe of the comments.
- g232089 3y agoIt's European time currently. So, crabs time.
- numbers_guy 3y agoIt's mostly my fellow Germans, being honest.
- johnny99k 3y agoThe HN community hasn't been about startups in a looong time.
