No I am not, nor did I assume that grand position. Good for scaling? Possibly. Good in general? It does not mean anything especially if you compare to the garbage that winds up within the top 20 links each day.

I defend my position as a sentient being that can offer sane judgement. He's doing 12 'start-ups' in 12 months. I should not have to say anything else to justify why this is such an absurd idea. His reasoning is that he can do this because someone else completed 180 projects in 180 days. The analogy alone should tell you that he is not taking this as seriously as he should for each to be considered a start-up (realistically). Practice is excellent but he's doing this for the number not for the raw value of any particular experience.

Start-ups are solid in the definition that they should have a reasonable business plan to expect anything of value (experience, cold hard cash, what have you). There are objective manners in which to approach whether something has merit as opposed to viewing business plans in a nebulous fashion believing that 'everything is possible!'

Personal projects and start-ups are not mutually exclusive, nor did I state this. I said that a project should not automatically become a start-up.




I see that you like to post and then once questioned you like to edit the post to address the concerns as if you had written that way all along.

This is HN, not Reddit. When you criticise something you are expected to give a credible reason for that criticism.

You failed in that respect and retrospective attempts are simply not going to cut it.

His business seems to be generating cold hard cash right now. In what world can you say that is not a startup?


When did I edit my post? Further justifying my belief you don't comprehend what's in front of your face.

I'm really starting to believe this is no different than Reddit.


What?

>> Justifying your belief that I don't comprehend what is in front of my face.

Seriously, what?


This is becoming farcical. Good bye.
