I agree. People should write more about specific challenges they had, and how they overcame them.

Talk about the tough bank negotiation. Or when your biggest customer threatened to leave. Or didn't pay. Either something controversial or, better, specific, concrete, and useful.

The advices are very specific and concrete. If you actually run a startup, u will get the gist. You take care of your business while others take care of theirs. You can ask somebody for vision, but nobody can take action for you.

I do run a company. It grosses a few million a year, so I'd be in the position to "get the gist". These posts may be helpful for people who've never done a startup before, or are very early in their current one, but are not useful for people such as myself and many other HN members at a similar or later, greater stage than myself.
