The OP didn't appear to be "sneering at new users", but complaining about a post that contains nothing but drivel. That said, the story is scoring well. I blame premature upvoting and the lack of vote take-backs.

Interesting stuff. Perhaps "startup generators" are an example of free market solutions overcoming market restrictions (e.g. government regulations). Or maybe startup generators are toll booths constructed by the "ownership class". ;)

If you do decide to go with Python, web.py ( http://webpy.org/ ) is simple and you'll be up and running fast. If you're interested in how it all works, dig into WSGI. And if you find that web.py is too low level, transition to Django after

No, but the dependency on "horizontal scaling" for medium-traffic web apps is more common due to Rails and one reason I ask.

If you want a VPS for Lisp (SBCL), I recommend Slicehost. I tried Linode out for a week, but had trouble getting SBCL (w/threads) running on their new Xen nodes - but their support was spectacular. I've also been a long time customer of OCS

The view server can be swapped out. More here: http://www.couchdbwiki.com/index.php?title=View_Server_Proto... There's already Python, Ruby, and PHP servers.

It's not imaginary, but it is unimportant. Spend a day in #haskell, #python, or #ruby asking basic questions about the language, then repeat in #lisp. There are helpful people in the CL channel, but most newbie assistance ends with the v

If you're looking to optimize for learning, choose a more powerful language that you don't yet know: Python, a Lisp, or Scala.

In a way, YC is a PR firm and Hacker News is its primary outlet.

The Linux kernel is fairly important and the kernel developers trust a "bleeding edge" VCS. SVN is great for an individual or simple project, but sharing patches between branches is a nightmare.

Make it available to customers, even users that don't read source code will get a "warm and fuzzy" knowing that other users can and may have.

Thanks for the reply. I know you're right, and I have a few ideas that I should start on and let evolve. I am looking to join up with a few others (technical, design, or business/marketing) but am in the DC area now and will eventually be i

Found a summary of a book on "lateral marketing" from a previous "Ask YC" thread that's helpful, though obvious. It's nice to have the vocabulary, and associated granularity, for idea-forming. http://www.squeezedbooks.com/book/show/5/later

Identifying a good idea is my limiting factor. I have the ability (practical and theoretical) to create all sorts of software, but no idea feels solid enough to base my future on. For most of the ideas, the market is too small or saturate

We use Lighthouse ( http://lighthouseapp.com/ ) and find it simple, extensible, and useful. It covers most of your points but doesn't include bug reporting/tracking by people not on a project (e.g., users). Their API and email integration

Not to disregard the benefit of community, but a reason the bay area may appear a more successful location is that there are many startups there. For each success, how many failures?

Nested components sounds like Weblocks, http://common-lisp.net/project/cl-weblocks/ , but I'm guessing you're already aware of it. I just started working on a site using Hunchentoot and CL-WHO as well, send me a note if you're interested i

Interesting. Wouldn't most user's have a portable music player? If so, why would users go to the site to listen to their uploaded music? From a listener standpoint, the fun is in exploring other people's music. There really are two user

Austin also has Univ. of Texas - ranked seventh in CS research. The startup I'm involved with is planning on opening up offices there when it's time to grow.
