I think you're misunderstanding this community as a whole. Hacker News is a community created around Y-Combinator, a startup incubator. The essay I linked to was written by Paul Graham, co-founder of Y-Combinator. Hacker News is his brainchild. I recommend you give the Wikipedia page on Hacker News a read (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News) to learn a bit more about the community. In other words, this is not the community you are looking for.
