I'm not saying that one or the other approach is objectively better, I was merely sharing my personal opinion on the matter, so that perhaps someone can learn from that data point, or to offer some comfort to those who frequent Hacker News for the critical thinking rather than the money-making news.
(Apart from the title, the website with legal matter suggest a focus on things that I certainly do not associate favorably with a "hacker".)
Where do you get the "next Bill Gates" part from? I can only see a run-of-the-mill "professional" website, of which there are countless on the web nowadays. The product itself seems to be something that the OP wanted for himself and managed to turn into something others can use. I seriously doubt its utility myself, but I don't see how this makes him "pretend to be the next Bill Gates"?
Are you referring to the actual post? What age would it be appropriate to post one's creations would you say? Or is it the "I'm 16-" prefix? But I can't work out where the narcissism comes in.
