Why don't more people post their startup ideas on HN?
Mz: I know for some people that talking too much about something is a means to avoid actually doing it.  I know one individual who seems to feel no need to really accomplish anything as long as they are getting sufficient attention for whatever the heck they are doing. I don't think that is all that unusual.  I mean if you are looking primarily for an emotional payoff, why bother doing something hard if there are easier ways to get it?I also think some things need to "incubate".  And during incubation, it is detrimental to have certain kinds of inputs.
