How in any way does this represent part of the HN/YC culture? He got rejected the first time, didn't he?
As a coder, I always encourage non-technical people I meet to learn how to code, so I don't find the idea of a non-technical person trying to learn to code at all a negative aspect of the tech scene.
- ldh 14y agoA story about being rejected 3 times by YC up voted to the front page of HN. You don't see that as a large indicator as to the culture here? And I have no problem with non-technical people, or anyone learning to code, I just thought it odd that the startup idea was for a non-coder to learn programming in order to 1) teach it to others, 2) ?, 3) profit.
- argonaut 14y agoNo. That's 50 upvotes. You know how many people it took to get this up to the front page? 50 people. 50 people does not a culture make.
