This is a really interesting point. To give an example, one of my friends in that scene thinks that 37signals is probably "not doing that well." I can only guess this is because they aren't raising tons of VC and having their name plastered all over TC.

Your friend is simply wrong. I think buying a house in italy and commissioning a custom super car is evidence that he doesn't know what he is talking about. http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/07/pagani-zonda-hh-commissioner-revealed-as-30-year-old-chicago-sof/ http://www.autoblog.com/2010/09/07/pagani-zonda-hh-commissio...

  That means DHH is doing well, and has little to do with 37signals.

    Sorry to post this here, but jsprinkles' profile is empty. @jsprinkles: do you have a blog or website? Really enjoyed your xip.io comments (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4082017 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4082017) and would like to keep up with your adventures. On a related note, it would be nice if HN had RSS feeds for specific user submissions and comments.

      I prefer to stay semi-anonymous, but a few people know who I am (it wouldn't be rocket science to deduce). When I posted under my real name folks I did not know would come up to me at conferences and argue with me about things I had said on Hacker News. People tend to get offended by my remarks because I disagree with a lot of this culture, so it's also easier to just keep that separate from my career. Thank you for the kind words.
