The most invasive popup I have ever encountered. Also the three points made in the article are, shall we say, dubious advice. I wanted to use more extreme language but I think it's frowned on at HN. Here's a sample: "If you

"It's always better" - words like this make me think "unchallenged accepted wisdom". Accepted wisdom remains accepted until eventually people start to realize that it's not entirely correct.

The first line of the post explicitly makes a distinction between "software" and "hard tech". I really challenge the accepted wisdom of "build something tiny and iterate" as being the only way to build software

"Hard tech startups Some people think YC only funds software startups." Kinda strange that software is not seen by YC as "hard tech". I think there's lots of hard tech in software but the way venture capitalists&#x2

I made the terrible error of trying to use vim as an IDE when I was learning to program. Honestly I think it set my progress back 75%. Don't get me wrong, I use vim all the time cause it's there on any machine I log in to, but I f

You make a good point. This blog post is a common line of messaging in the "how to succeed in startups" - "see what (hugely successful company X) did? That's what you should do, that's how you succeed!" Truth i

I don't agree that the only way to make a company is to build something small and iterate. It's just one way, not better nor worse than other ways. Some companies have succeeded doing this, other have not. Which means that the p

The scammer said it is his parents that he does not want to be told, so that's precisely where his care factor is.

Tell his parents is precisely what you should do. That's what would lead to possible behavior change. Letting him get away with it validates the behavior and teaches that it's OK and he will be able to talk his way out of such th

It goes the other way too. The older I get, the less inclined I am to work for any company. I just no longer believe in really any corporate mission. I'm not inclined to work hard for anyone except me. Most companies seem to be doin
