Am I the only one that feels Ryan's blog is mostly hacker news link bait, every article is pretty fluffy stuff that gets a lot of upvotes. I'm not sure how much actual value you get from knowing his schedule
Feel the same way, and can't help but wonder why these articles keep getting upvoted.
Side note - reminds me of my first FOWA, where Ryan hogged a majority of the QA time from each presenter to ask questions about his own business. I admire his business success, but to me, he comes off as self-centered.
No. The titles may give that impression but the content is useful. He shares useful links and details. For example his explanation for using trello vs other products in a previous post. Let's also remember the hacker news community includes many people who have never done a startup and keen to get as much knowledge as possible before they eventually do it. Ryan's content is far more useful to them than the latest news on JS.
I actually get a lot out of Ryan's posts. It's especially helpful to know what tools he's using to remotely manage his team, the structure of his company, and also how he meets and manages his team. All super helpful when you're a startup founder managing a remote team like me.
