And this is also the HN where people boosts they can rebuild on their own $SUCCESSFUL_SOFTWARE over a 3-days weekend.

There are tons of very brilliant and very smart people here, but there are also many that are too fond of themselves or have big issues understanding problems' ramifications in real life/real business.

How do you know the difference between stupidity and ambition unless you try?

The best inoculation against hubris is trying to fly to the sun.

Humans, to generalize, bias towards talking over walking.

Ambition is saying "I think I can bootstrap a successful competitor to $POPULAR_SOFTWARE if I work hard enough, I have the talent and perseverance".

Adding "in 3-days" is stupidity.
