#3Noise and bragging. Please come back and give advice when you are wise and know the consequences of your past decisions. In the meantime, what is the goal of blogging about this? There are an infinitude of things happening at every moment, I would much rather if on HN we only found things that were useful to better understand the world. Stuff like this is one random person's over verbose twitter feed.

#4I love seeing posts like these - I have no idea why its getting downvoted off the front page. Far too often the attitude on HN is that raising a big round = success. Building a profitable, long lasting business shouldn't be the exception to the rule. Good luck keeping things independent!

How is it bragging to say that they didn't raise the round? If you care about what's going on inside the mind of a founder who choses NOT to raise a round, this post would be interesting to you.
