Thank you. Unbelievable how many people would rather no one try anything new at all.

This article and the responses show the worst of HN -- bad faith attacks, no attempt to give the benefit of the doubt, no engagement with the underlying vision, unwarranted pessimism.

Why not ask what niche this tech excels in, or what impact a refined version could have? Most projects fail -- that's obvious -- but how might this one succeed?

In short, why so much negativity? The more you default to these views, the likelier it is you and everyone around you will never accomplish anything.

This is the poison that is destroying Hacker News and likewise many startups before they have even been imagined.
