Same hat, though I've mostly moved on to TikTok for my mindless entertainment.

HN is better because there are other internet olds here and more of the content is interesting, but as somebody with MS, the sigma male grindset thing gets under my skin because there's an undercurrent of 'If you do these things, you can ward off insecurity or poverty' and there are cases where that's just not true. Plus the ability to do those things often relies on external support, which for some reason just isn't mentioned when people talk about how they've worked to get where they are. (Which I'm not discounting; it's just that two people can put in the same effort and get drastically different results.)

It's a mindset for people in their 20s or people who can outsource most life activities.

Definitely; results come from: effort, ability, luck (or timing), choices and starting resources.
