Patrick works at Stripe.

Before that, he consulted and ran a bingo card creator.

I love the dude and his advice has been invaluable to me--but it has been invaluable because he is not a guy who has run startups, he's a guy who's had to make a buck.

Plus it seems his output (on his blog and here on HN) has decreased quite a bit since he moved to Stripe, so this validates what happens when you get busy.

Although a big part of his job is writing about similar topics, so you could also say he's still doing the same thing, only posting to a different end point and getting paid. That too is success.

Running a bingo card creator qualifies as a startup.

Unless of course we are using the ultra narrow HN definition of a startup.

No, we're using the tech-industry definition of a startup.

I don't run a startup, either. I make money.
