Okay, I've spent the better part of the morning mulling this over while doing other work. Really, it's not as pathetic as it sounds. This is a funny parody that highlights the shortcomings of the "wantrepreneurial" spirit. Everyone wants to be inspired by these posts, and many people like talking about how they're "living the startup life," instead of actually building anything. Now, here's where I disagree with a lot of the responses, to some extent even edw519 (whom I greatly respect). I personally find legitimate "day in the life" posts inspirational. Are they sometimes silly? Yes. Are they sometimes just a waste of time? Absolutely. Do they spur drive to wake up earlier, be more productive, and create awesome products? It depends, but for me, they do. I got a chuckle out of this parody, but I hope that HN posters don't take the general response to this post to mean "oh, no one cares about my daily life." If there's nothing unique in it, maybe you don't need to post, but just like I like learning how my coding heroes get their productive work done, I also like learning how founders frame their work/home balance. Just my $0.02 :)
