I thought ApplyHN was an interesting experiment. Had some issues, of course, but at least fundamentally sound. Lessons could be learned, and if tried again, the process will likely improve.<p>When I read through this summary of the concept, I was struggling to think of a word to describe my generally negative impression, and I think I finally found it: Juvenile. This souds so very, very juvenile. Good luck to whomever wants to go this route. Pass.
