I agree. All I have done for the past 15 years is startups and I love HN, however in the last few years it has become very apparent there is a selection bias to people in startup/valley type tech. I spend a ton of time explaining to my CEO and CTO why a customer cannot just dump that old way and embrace the new hotness. The valley culture is a bubble and does not reflect that of real world IT in general. Still love HN.
