Founder here. I built commercial insurance software for Windows 95 in the 1990s, driver assistant systems at Mercedes and at Bosch in the early 2000s, dozens of iPhone apps as contractor, a startup called HockeyApp (acquired by Microsoft), and various smaller projects, mostly in Ruby on Rails. And of course, when I left Microsoft & GitHub, 10 years of green boxes were removed from my GitHub profile.

Glad to see you commenting here despite the, er, unsubstantive disposition of some of the commenters! (I'm a mod here btw.) We really don't like it when the audience responds to new things with snark and dismissiveness, and there are rules in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html to make that clear.

In this case I think the root problem is that the OP (https://entire.io/blog/hello-entire-world/) is the wrong genre for HN. It's a fine fundraising announcement, but that sort of enthusiastic general announcement rubs the HN audience the wrong way because what they really want is technical details. Spectacular non technical details like high valuations, etc., tend to accentuate this gap.

I mention this because if you or someone on your team wants to write a technical post about what you're building, with satisfying details and all that, then we could do a take 2 (whenever would be a good time for this).

Makes sense, and we definitely will have more technical posts coming soon and on a regular basis. And I am German, I am used to snark. :P Joking aside, thanks for the response and appreciate your work as a mod!

But ... what have you done lately?

(I jest ... kudos).
