This was at the top of the front page of HN and HN classic. It doesn't even tangentially touch upon entrepreneurship, hacking, or startups. I won't rule out it being a honeypot of some kind, but maybe it's time to think about ways to halt the drift?
Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups.
Personally, I visit Y Combinator for a wide range of topics - from entrepreneurship and start ups to "hacking" and technology. This seems to fall in the second half? Or, am I wrong?
I was lucky enough to get started in electronics at the end of that era: in high school Radio Shack was still a useful resource. As an 11th grader I made circuit boards using a Sharpie, some press on decals for IC footprints and electrical tape cut into strips to mark where circuit traces would go.
Today, I'd fire up a freeware or open-source CAD program, email the output files to some PCB house in China or Bulgaria, and get back professional quality boards a few days later for $50. A far cry from screwing around with smelly chemicals in the sink and pissing my mom off with the stains it left behind.
You need to know where you came from to appreciate where you're going!
