Mean People Fail
- CaiGengYang 11y agoSo I came across Paul Graham's online essay "Mean People Fail" and thought it was quite an enlightening piece. Starting this new thread for discussion ...
- mtmail 11y agoPrevious discussion from 500 days ago which by no means should stop anybody from commenting and upvoting here to add some fresh ideas. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8673760 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8673760
- paulhauggis 11y agoIt's an interesting topic, because many of the people and posters here on HN are pretty mean. As soon as a topic comes up that goes against the narrative, personal attacks and down voting commences. I just chalked it up to the folly of youth, but this article is right on the money.
- paulhauggis 11y agoI guess this article was right. Hopefully, nobody here is trying to start a business. According to PG, you will fail.

- CaiGengYang 11y agoOk , so this is what I want to do : 1) Create a simple static website in Python 2) Give it a nice "Web 2.0" name 3) Create a system on it where users can upload their photos and videos taken with their friends and family , edit them to create short funny cartoons and share with their friends and family using social networks like FaceBook, Twitter and others This is not a business per say at the moment, just a "hack" that hopefully can get a small group of users to use and love it. Can someone give me detailed step-by-step instructions on how I can do this , just like teaching a baby how to walk step-by-step? Let's test PG's theory lol ... Thanks alot, appreciate it !
