The percentage used to be larger, but has diminished over time.

There are still some of us here, though.

Also, do bear in mind the crowd effect. If it was a post where an pro-entrepreneurship attitude would have been heavily attacked/criticised/downvoted (marketing-related posts on HN don't always attract positivity, for example), many people may have stayed silent.

Could you please share your ideas, why has it diminished? Different audience came, or more people fine with coding in general, without their own business (so old people became more "normal" oriented)?

Same about the Stock Market, which ironically can be the best life stile location independent business...

Day trading, you mean? I've heard mixed things about it - is that something you do?

No Sir, I do not believe in day trading and technical analysts - e.g. glued to computer screens and using flags and other candle formations, but yes, I do trade the stock market very successfully using quantitative systems, once the system is build it trades by itself and I just move on to test/develop the next system, which hopefully will outperform the current one I am using...
