How do you think now?

It's hard to explain. I try to understand why the person thinks the idea is good rather than try to figure out why the idea is bad. The realization that most ideas evolve over time also means that the initial idea you dismiss will most likely change.

It's really just about taking the time to better understand an idea, and trying hard not to dismiss it.

That should be on the HN faq regarding "Show HN" posts.
