Don't treat HN like Quora.
sarcasm, my dear friend, should not be used on HN these days.

HN is filled of brogrammers these days, the ones who will change the world, and are reading HN to know, how to do it.

When I was in 2nd Grade. I used to think my maths teacher was the most intelligent mathematician in the world, and then I grew up.

He still teaches maths, the way he used to do. There are still students in the 2nd Grade, they might think alike.

But then, I look back at him, his teachings(maths lessons) do not add value to me anymore.

On the other hand, there are mean people I know of amongst the meanest on earth. They do play tricks, figure out people who are inexperienced and trick them. They will keep doing the same, its in their genes. Those shameless jerks, will remain shameless. Desperate for success, by hook or by crook, and so will their off springs be. Desperate.

Need Advice on Managing Startup Mentor Relation

I was I was introduced to a mentor, by my accelerator folks. I approached him for some sales lessons. The mentor turned out to be an asshole(I did not like him, the way he talked about stuff, and his approach to things in general. We had different approach, he was a street smart guy, and I have a far more academic approach to things). We had a minor, texting, where he went on to boast he earns...

Your product, can't get traction on its own. It needs focussed effort to gain traction.

Ask HN: What should I do with a product that I built but could not market?

Next customer interviews, and prototype, then full fleged product, then iterated after few more customer interviews. It all took around 7 months.Assembled a team on equity, they both did not agree together, one told me to get rid of the...

Ask HN: How open to be about your startup idea while doing customer interview

The first step in starting a startup is doing the customer interview, getting to know the customers thoughts.One thing that is concerning me and I am kind of insecure about as of now is "Hinting the idea to so many people at the same time."
