There was a recent reminder by Sam Altman about the guideline on avoiding negativity on Hacker News[1]. While I agree with the importance of 'checking one's privilege', I feel like calling someone a "rich ass spoiled kid" for sharing an insightful, topically relevant, and inspiring story of conquering their own mental health issues is in violation of this. Also, since OP mentioned they are now receiving treatment for ADHD, its insulting to insinuate that you don't think they are capable of handling technology operations. Yes, most of us here are quite privileged. Even homeless people in first-world countries are privileged compared to many living in third-world countries, and I think it's important that we acknowledge it. But your attitude does not help make this community a better place. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9317916 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9317916
