The underlying message I'm getting is that HN applicants tend to find the "actual" problem they can tackle to make their fortunes while initially trying to solve a different problem.
Well, that's exactly what all the "lean startup" types say :) , the theory goes:
- 1) release an MVP
- 2) get actual feedback
- 3) pivot
- 4) repeat 1, 2 and 3 until you find the actual pain point to solve, or run out of cash
- 5) profit :)
