TLDR: Idiot opens coffee shop goes bankrupt.

We don't need TL;DRs on Hacker News to begin with, let alone ones likes these. Please re-read the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

Nah. Next time I make a blog post.

I go into the farm business because cows are so cool and cute animals. Then realize that money does not flow into my window but that farming is actually really a business. Then I write a blog post and resubmit on hackernews: "My farm nightmare (2018)". The TLDR would be: idiot opens farm, goes bankrupt, posts on blog.

That's not the most useful summary. I would summarize it as a cautionary tale: "It's easy to convince yourself the numbers will work out when doing something you love." Be rational. Many people who are not idiots make similar mistakes.

You phrased it more friendly. But let me rephrase:

TLDR: Idiot opens coffee shop goes bankrupt, writes blog post about it.
