Ask HN: Succes and failure
Can you give an example of something you tried and failed, and something you tried and succeeded? Do you understand and can you explain why they failed/succeeded?
I think this thread is not taking off because it feels like an interview question. And not the fun kind. So answering this question, to me, feels like a chore. Hence my meta response.
I bet you'd get a better response with a more focused question. Maybe like: have you ever had a startup that totally failed? If so, in retrospect, why did it fail?
Cheers.
