You're going to have to get used to it. These kind of self congratulatory "I left great job X to start my own company" stories have been staples of HN since forever.
- harrytuttle 13y agoAntidote: I left a big company (not Google) to persue my own startup and fucked it right up leaving myself in debt for 5 years :)
- vidar 13y agoWould love to hear that story...
- harrytuttle 13y agoThere's not much to it. I started an online "virtual helpdesk" company. The first company I got in signed a contract and promptly went bust after I'd spend all the incoming cash on marketing to get other companies in. It plummeted into debt and I folded it. The sickening bit was to offset the debt, I sold the codebase to another company which did quite well out of it. They offered to hire me in but I couldn't face it.
