I was excited when PG said you don't have to be smart to startup [Vote up if true]
- zach 20y agoAnd leave a comment here if you come to News.YC for news and not content-free polls!
- akkartik 20y agoNo! I'm reading news.yc/active these days, and adding comments to this thread makes it salient. Please ignore such submissions entirely.
- e1ven 20y agoOn Reddit, I recall one day in which there were 4 polls on the front page, and two other posts complaining about the polls. For the most part, we all agree that polls don't belong as part of the comment system. PG has offered to write dedicated poll code. Let's try to band together to avoid filling up the stories with Polls, Stories Complaining about polls, then complaining about complaining about polls, and the like. ;) -Colin
- mattculbreth 20y agoAnd needless to say, let's NOT impeach anybody! :)
- ecuzzillo 20y agoBetter yet, let's start a poll polling people about how much they hate polls [pic] [video] [NSFW].
- randallsquared 20y agoBut if we avoid requiring the dedicated poll code, PG won't need to get around to writing it... So the obvious solution is that everyone should make a point of doing a poll a day until PG writes the code.
- vlad 20y agoSee you at next year's startup school (hopefully)!
- BrandonM 20y agoThe funny thing is how ironic the title is, in that the author seems to be making the claim that he is not smart.
- ralph 20y agoI think a bigger problem than not being smart is having more than one idea over time; the new one supplants the old. I once struggled to explain to a top-notch guy what I did for the company we knew. "Ah", he said, "you're a problem solver", and he was right. Then it varied from people popping their head round the door with a question to larger scale performance issues. Now it means after solving the problems of how to do one good idea I'm attracted by the problems of the new one rather than persevering with bringing idea #1 to completion.
