I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but that's a real dickish thing to say. Imagine saying that to a colleague or someone at a party! "I'm sorry but you are too young to have valuable opinions".

TL;DR: don't be a dick



It has nothing to do with age, you've totally misunderstood my point.

My point is that if the post seems pretty thin to somebody from the same cohort, how could it help anybody else?

I'd rather see either

1. More substantive content, less "here are my feelings about being a startup kid"

2. Something from people who've spent more time at this and developed deeper people skills. Could even be somebody the same age, just more experienced.

tl;dr don't call somebody a dick unless you actually understand the point of their comment.


If I misunderstood your point, it is because you did not make it well.

From your comment, all I see is a dismissal of the post because it has nothing to offer you. Your last comment is much more substantive - perhaps you should have said that the first time.


I definitely didn't communicate it well.

The deeper issue is that I wish I could borrow 20% of HN users for some other environment or somehow combine curation with timely conversation (hard to do).
