That's how I feel about HN. Theres a large percentage of quality talent that comes here, as well as bullshitters. That combined gives you the illusion that you are stranded in the wrong hemisphere, when in reality 99% of us are here.
That situation is the 1%.
- yuncun 12y agoThanks for your perspective. As a new grad, I sometimes feel guilty reading HN comments because I'll dwell on why I couldn't also "go to MIT and make a startup at age 22" or some nonsense. It's good to hear that not everyone here is a 10k-a-day coding savant.
