A truly great HN comment. An example of why it’s still worthwhile to be here.

There are many problems with your argument, but I’d like to focus on the fact that your understanding of the definition of The Patriarchy is wrong. From Wikipedia[0]: > Patriarchy is a social system in which men hold primary power and pr

It seems to me that your comment being downvoted is a perfect illustration of the patriarchy.

It might help the HN crowd if you say it's a sarcastic poem about survivorship bias ;)

This sounds an awful lot like imposter syndrome, but with your own health instead of programming ability. See a doctor. Be honest. Let them do their job and then trust their diagnosis.

The bootstrapped.fm link makes me wonder what other wonderful sites the HN population visits, but that I have no clue about.

I just wanted to include the last line of the interview that you left off, as I think it's actually pretty important: Wired.com: So what have you learned so far? Musk: Patience is a virtue, and I'm learning patience. It's a tough lesson.

Your last line reminded me of The Tao of Programming: http://www.canonical.org/~kragen/tao-of-programming.html This is very high praise.

You're getting dangerously close to describing continuations. And I think it's important to remember that just because a programming language doesn't give you access to a data structure, it doesn't mean it's not using it under the covers.

Jobs created the Mac, and the iPhone. I just recently went back and re-watched the original iPhone keynote, and I believe this is very much a theme of what he was saying on stage. Making something new, at world class quality, is incredibly

I upvoted because I completely agree. But then I thought about it, and isn't this also an example of a hack in it's purest sense?
