Ouch!

Stuff like this should always be disclosed. Something like "My co-founder / friend built ..." would be totally fine, but this comment looks like it intentionally obscures the connection. Not a good look.

I don't find it a big deal. Smart people will evaluate the offering for themselves and not make a decision based on a 1 line comment on Hacker News.

Plus, I doubt they would spend their lives building the project and not recommend it.
