I'm just curious but is it the case that you signed up here 16 years ago and you didn't know what MRR means?

Haha ^^'.

Honestly, yes. I'm on HN for tech content, I don't really care about startups and the business side of things, even though sometimes there are interesting reads on this side as well. Also, it may very well be the case that I rediscover the meaning of MRR for the second or third time in sixteen years :).

    I'm jealous of you, like seriously, you somehow haven't worked at a company where a C suite says MRR like every 5th sentence in meeting.

I was also curious about that, I would've thought especially in 2010 the startup ethos would've been more prevalent on HN whereas these days it's more about AI and big tech.

    There was always tech content. I'd say it was even a more important part back in the days, and it was more diverse. There were always some trends (Ruby on Rails, Rust, etc.) but it was never like these days with LLM-related content which is almost all of the tech content. Because of that I've gone back to Reddit like two years ago, and now spend even more time there than here, which hadn't been the case in almost 15 years before that.

Obviously they are lacking the sigma hustle grindset.

Its like not having syphilis or cancer, its a good thing.

    They haven't also worked at a company where the meetings have MRR said like every 4 seconds. I'm so jealous of them
