HN and YC walk a thin line between hacker culture and venture capitalist culture. I know it’s easy to think that because HN comes from YC them too are aligned with hacker culture, but no. YC is all cutthroat business.

It's a great place to learn new things and I've loved it since I found it in 2012. The current startup climate (not just limited to YC) feels very AI bro YEAHHLETSFUCKINGGOO (and I say this as a founder myself having gone through YC recently in W25).
