The ad looks half assed. So is startup life, in general. I agree with Davi.

It's so tough to hire that everyone is trying to differentiate themselves as companies. They're trying rather too hard to be cute about it and failing....or not trying and succeeding.

If you really feel this way, maybe it's a good thing that such a small proportion succeed. There must be armies of startup wives out there who are paying off the debts of their husband's startup failures. ;)

Aw well. Startup or no startup, being in a bad relationship is a giant liability anyway.

As a woman who sees these young entrepreneurs in their twenties who routinely put work before relationships, I am sometimes dismayed. I've wondered more than once if their growth as men is being stunted. I suspect the stories of sacrificing love on the altar of your startup and the pain involved in doing so are just the stories you don't hear.

New love and startups have about the same failure rate. No?

Nobody would believe that. Know your market.

Is it bad to have "fuck" on a sticker bound for a laptop? It's not really work-safe, right?

Dude. You're worse than me! ;)
Oblivia··on Ask HN: Appsumo needs your help
Yes! That would make an awesome visual as well.
