especially considering I’ve been running a SaaS for 12 years

You must be blocked… either for a reason, or part of a block list or I blocked you accidentally when blocking ads which has happened a few times. What’s your username?

Not yet, we're still very new! Being able to interact easily wherever you are is a high priority for us, however, so it's high on the list. We do have a Slackbot already.

Not even tall poppy syndrome, because if you dare to talk about how something went horribly wrong (aka you're a short poppy), people react in the way you describe above. It's the c…

Freckle is Amy Hoy's biggest product (cite: my finances).

Also, I'm not "extremely abrasive" if you "disagree" with me. When people are jerks, I feel absolutely no compunction reflecting what they put out.

We used to do $240k a year in technical workshops, sold nearly $300k of ebooks, and have a million-dollar-a-year business… 3/4 of which is SaaS, not 30x500. And no, we don't have "…

Oh, good question. I can see why you'd think that. Nope, BB will be more like HN, but specifically for bootstrappers and related topics only. IOW: public-facing, free to use. (Alth…

Self-centered, to me, means not thinking of others, because you're preoccupied with yourself. So, it makes sense to me. Also, I didn't say "The OP has the social skills of a cockro…

That's why I said "new… for a vast majority of people."

Yes, lots of us are. The trick is, we've mostly given up on HN. First of all because we got tired of the "lifestyle business" sneer/smear. Second there is almost no content here fo…

Surely I'm not the only one who read the screenshotted exchanges and thought: He just told the OP he's waiting for "answers" from the doctor. He can't make travel plans. He says it…

I'm sorry you went through that. Of course a memorial page wouldn't help comfort you, when you know your friend was murdered, you know who the killer was, and there would never be …

work ethic, n: A word used by those trying to guilt others into doing what the selfish person wants.

The notion of a job/employment is a new one for the vast majority of the world's population, Americans included. Most people were peasants/subsistence farmers, or small time commer…

That's not relevant to the fact that actual wages have gone down.

If you read the essay, it's clear he's not anti-startup, much less specifically anti-Y Combinator. He is pro- other things instead, and saying the "traditional" (lol) startup cultu…

"Om nom noooo!"

Is simply pointing out a mistake "making a big thing out of nothing"? I don't understand why you claim I'm "making a big thing" and write a paragraph explaining yourself instead of…

Relevant to business? No. Common courtesy requires not mis-gendering people though.

Compass is not a course. It's not a strategy product, it's a mathematical modeling tool for inputting statistics and forecasting different scenarios. (Fact: It's a spreadsheet.) Yo…

And I did a huge amount of little mistakes! I consider myself lucky in that I eventually reached the launch goal at all. It's not luck, it's because you got the core thing right: Y…

Hi, I'm the teacher of 30x500, the course in question. You're right -- by far, the product failures I see are caused by people who are self-focused (what do I want to make? what's …

The name: Jaana. The photo: A woman. "He"?

The most important thing to realize is: This isn't happening to you. You are doing it to yourself.
