Everyone has to be somewhere. I would not be surprised to find someone, who feels like the modern internet as it exists is terrible, on hacker news. I believe the sentiment is more common here than say, the comments section on CNN. I like t

I like that they have a "take the flag, but dont hold the ground if it isn't worth it" approach. Learn lots and fail fast. Smaller companies can find a niche for themselves in "we are basically X that google used to do&q
