How a simple comment on Hacker News made me quit my job and launch a startup
Frankly, this isn't very interesting. Some guy gets inspired to launch a startup, grows a company beyond the bare minimum, and we are supposed to swoon?<p>Come back when you have 150 employees and the competition is begging for mercy.

Lets all do ourselves a favor and not praise effort before it bears fruit.
