I think the problem here is that "growth mindset" has a more specific meaning to many readers that is not at all synonymous with "growth strategy", and there's some crossing of streams going on.
This risk multiplies when you have the audacity to make a joke on HN.
Unfortunately this guy broke the first and most important rule of telling a joke -> it has to be funny.
