I'm guessing people here aren't that familiar with Andrew's work. I've been listening for a long time now and can tell you that few people have done for start-ups everywhere what Andrew has done. He's interviewing people just about every day, people who are making money, people with stories that can help others looking to do the same. Not every moment is gold, but Andrew is contributing in a major way and it cost you nothing but your time. It's just upsetting to me to hear these comments on HN. While criticism is good, I'm afraid some of these just sound too unappreciative for me to take. Andrew - Keep up the good work.

I am not familiar with his work, but I also don't think I should need to know his reputation in order to watch the video. To me it seemed disrespectful to the person he was interviewing, and honestly a bit egotistical to be talking so much. Hopefully this feedback reaches him and it's something that can be considered.

To me, the phrase "While criticism is good, I'm afraid some of these just sound too unappreciative for me to take" is far more upsetting than anything redguava said. Redguava - I watched the whole interview. While I was not previously familiar with "Andrew's" history I'm reading about him now, as I somewhat agreed with your take on him and became curious over the course of the interview about his qualifications/accomplishments. However, do watch the whole interview. Jason Cohen had some great things to say. By the end I felt it had strayed off topic but that it was definitely worth hearing, especially when he got to speak on how he'd have changed the interview.

  >is far more upsetting than anything redguava said. Why? I think criticism is good. I also think being a troll that contributes nothing and blindly criticizes people who do contribute is bad.
