#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
I feel it's really unfair for you to compare a sale of a company to crashing and burning in one. An acquihire and even -fire would seem to be a pretty desirable outcome to our writer.
You're missing my point. I'm saying that while some things seem like they're the end of the world, they're usually not. It's important to remember that when faced with those circumstances, because it keeps you grounded in reality and looking toward the future.
I'm not missing the point - I think your point is inconsiderate.

#23Call me skeptical, but this whole blog smells of a giant PR campaign. Miraculously, in 30 days, the author will reveal that he has saved the dying company, thanks to the Internet. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a giant "subscribe to my newsletter" button very soon.
No.
We'll take your word for it, because that has worked out in the past.

#24Probably this is fiction but still the content is good to be hooked up. Most likely it will be ended in something like 'I saved my friends and company, and I can still follow my dream....'

#25they may be killing it... you're blogging.

#26'I dreamt of building something that would shake things up and improve the web.' A serious question from an outsider - is this something people really believe or is it a platitude? I seem to see this statement often since I started reading HN. On the other hand success seems to be measured in selling companies for large sums of money and moving on to something else. Does this really improve the web?
There are a large number of individuals whose inflated self-image needs an objective reality check...
Thinking that one can do anything is good self-motivation, but one shouldn't deny the evidence that "anything" and "everything" are not the same concept, nor that one's particular "anything" may be neither simple nor valuable.

#27If you have a strong team and you are in the Bay Area, don't worry for them. They'll be unemployed for less than a week.

#28You're a good writer, your posts on this topic have been compelling, and I believe you are quite sincere in your desire to do right by what remains of your startup and your team. That's why I feel compelled to ask: have you consulted your team before embarking on this blogging adventure? There's more than a hint of the macabre in the posts (hashtags such as "delusion" being a good example). Do your team members share…
Doesn't matter, it isn't real. Just PR/fiction to get HN upvotes.

#29Please stop the drama.
Agreed. I'm cringing the same way I would cringe at my 10th grade journals.

I agree. HN is being taken for a ride. Come on guys, we're smarter than this.
