I wouldn't feel comfortable with this, as it would destroy the amount of discovery I do on HN.
Not all of the articles are within my technical experience, and some I only barely understand, but I find some seriously mind-blowing things out there.
To the OP...yes. I'm constantly impressed with those who have not only the knowledge and skills, but the sheer drive to build and run a successful startup. Even if I had some crazy-awesome idea that had almost no chance of failure (just as an example), the notion of just...picking up and doing my own thing is a very scary thing to do. I've been job with income stability for so long that the idea of going it on my own scares the hell out of me.
