  1. Ask HN: What was the most humble living situation you had in your early days?

    I currently live in a converted mail truck on the island of Kauai. I have everything I need and nothing I don't. I feel like a warrior-monk every day as I do my morning practice (meditation, breathwork, mantra, reading…

  4. Ask HN: What would you work on if you couldn't fail?

    I've been sprinting 10-16 hours a day for almost a month now. I feel cool, calm, and collected though. A lot is happening in the world and in our industry but I am doing all I can to be part of the cure, not the cancer.…

  7. Ask HN: How big of a deal is getting the .foobar challenge from Google?

    My browser split open when I was just starting out in 2016 and I got this coding challenge from Google that could've led to a job interview. One problem, I got it on a flight to Maui and when I landed I had to choose…

  8. Ask HN: What are the main reason(s) startups fail? How to circumnavigate?

    I asked Perplexity the first question and this is what I got. Now I'm curious how it compares to the HN community's real-life wisdom. ------------------------------------------------------- Main Reasons Startups Fail…

  9. Ask HN: What is your backup plan in case you don't get into YC S25?

  10. Ask HN: Which AI agents do you work with the most for coding? Favorite?

    I've started to tinker with all the big LLMs, I am at once fascinated and terrified at how fast things are changing. I am tying together the final pieces of my YC app after the funding for the non-profit I work at got…

  12. Ask HN: How much does AI threaten your job security in this decade?

    I've been reading about this a lot lately and am in the process of applying to YC. I am a creative and technical founder with experience in sales too. I am best with design and sales but have enough engineering acumen…

  13. Ask HN: What are the most valuable skills in our industry going forward?

  16. Ask HN: Does anyone else here live in Kauai?

    I just moved here from Maui and want to make some friends who are into building things that move the world. I know Mark Zuckerberg is here but not sure how good of a friend he would be. If you see this Mark, prove me…

  19. Ask HN: Displaced in Maui, working on a 'crazy idea'. Any words of wisdom?

    Maui is way too reliant on tourism. I believe we could support a startup ecosystem here that spans agriculture, finance, tourism, real estate, and wellness. Why couldn't it? Does anyone have any better ideas?

  20. Ask HN: I live on Maui and am helping by creating solutions. Is anyone hiring?

  21. Ask HN: What is your stack (hardware, OS, apps, subscriptions)? Cost per mth/yr?

    I am redesigning my life right now and am exploring ways to do more with less. HN is where the heavyweights doing big things hang out, no better place than here to ask. Hope this thread is useful to others.

  23. Ask HN: How did going through an incubator help your company? Any good advice?

    I live in Maui and there is something called Blue Startups here with a deadline of late July. It's similar to YC but based in Honolulu, there is a week in SF involved at the end. I'm a solo founder, for now. I will…
