> "Hacker News has a serious problem"

You, too, are part of Hacker News. Do you include yourself in this description? Please refrain from grouping everyone (except you, I suspect) as subscribing to one particular thought stream or another. You end up falling for the very groupthink that you're decrying.

I don't mean everyone of course, just a majority. It's a "pull up your bootstraps and become a principal engineer or you don't deserve anything, so just move to rural Montana" atmosphere. There absolutely is another side, but there's a serious epidemic of "I got mine, so screw you" here.
