The guy has a girlfriend and he obviously had a conversation with her where he was too afraid to put it on HN. She took the initiative, as a good woman should do, and did an excellent job demonstrating the tool.
So I would say the more technical term for your feeling is: nonsensical.
- larrys 14y ago"where he was too afraid to put it on HN" Hard to believe he was "afraid". More likely simply a gimmick to make it stand out (not implying negative by use of that word). Besides I don't get this: "My boyfriend Mark is way too much of a perfectionist to post his startup on HN" He posted his startup on HN that is "marknadal" posted the link to his girlfriends video. And what does being a perfectionist have to do with this anyway?
- fuscata 14y agoI took it to mean that he wouldn't get it done on his own b/c he would never be satisfied with the post. IOW, he was too shy.
- bksenior 14y agoFine. gimmick or not. Give the guy credit for creating a good launch narrative in a sea of "Check out my start-up" posts. This is clever marketing, the conversation doesn't have to go much further.
- Tyrant505 14y agoHahaha, Thank you. I think we get a little too "technical" sometimes.
