Your post will likely see hundreds of eager up arrows as HN is primarily populated by coders like us, and we like to think that what we do is all that matters.

Your post will likely see hundreds of eager up arrows as HN is primarily populated by coders like us, and we like to think that what we do is all that matters. In our blue collar mentality it's the elbow grease that is the real value. But really it's nonsense. There have been countless fantastically executed products that we've seen on Show HN, however many (if not most) were based upon either a too-common idea, or a poorly considered idea. Without a good idea, the best work in the world is all for naught. Simply dismissing it is ridiculous when most of the people reading these posts sit spinning their wheels doing nothing because they can't think of a good idea to implement.
