HN is filled with this kind of crap these days
2 comments

The "why I dropped to found a startup" genre would be more interesting if we got to see how well it turned out. Most of these stories I've seen are written when the startup still has 0 users.

This one claims to have some "traction." I don't see how many users that is, or whether they've built something sustainable yet.

But, if anyone dropped out a couple years ago, and has some results to talk about... I'm curious whether these ever turn into something.

Exactly - every week some douche is writing shit all over the place. Unless they talk about the product this is just pointless information people have to know.
It's not crap. It's someone's life. It just makes you (us) feel bad because they appear happier than we are.
I would agree with you if there wasnt a dozen posts on HN each week along the lines of "[How/Why] I [verb]'d [occupation] to [verb] [activity]"
Agree
It's kitschy schlock that makes Horatio Alger look like Voldemort.
Agree to disagree.
