My impression is that many profitable small businesses (small teams, long-term goals, which can be considered even boring) don't make it to the front page of HN because they don't aim (unrealistically) high. I find it fascinating how this culture embraces a "move fast, break things" mentality, which seems to apply (only) to the tech industry, where someone with multiple failed businesses is often labeled a "serial entrepreneur" (selling unsustainable company I don't consider a success). It's amusing to think about what it would be like if someone failed in multiple sports and referred to themselves as a "serial sportsman."
