One of the topics I cover the most there is the difference between startups and agencies/freelancing.

While startups tend to look at results (the ones that survive), agencies tend to look at the customer, at least most of them.

I actually believe that most designers coming from an agency would be eaten alive in a startup, along with their "photoshop skills". This people don't even know what UX means, never conducted a usability test (usability = I look at the website and say what I think), and definitely don't read HN.
