The guy has a girlfriend and he obviously had a conversation with her where he was too afraid to put it on HN. She took the initiative, as a good woman should do, and did an excellent job demonstrating the tool.

So I would say the more technical term for your feeling is: nonsensical.



"where he was too afraid to put it on HN"

Hard to believe he was "afraid". More likely simply a gimmick to make it stand out (not implying negative by use of that word).

Besides I don't get this:

"My boyfriend Mark is way too much of a perfectionist to post his startup on HN"

He posted his startup on HN that is "marknadal" posted the link to his girlfriends video.

And what does being a perfectionist have to do with this anyway?


I took it to mean that he wouldn't get it done on his own b/c he would never be satisfied with the post. IOW, he was too shy.


Fine. gimmick or not. Give the guy credit for creating a good launch narrative in a sea of "Check out my start-up" posts. This is clever marketing, the conversation doesn't have to go much further.


Hahaha, Thank you. I think we get a little too "technical" sometimes.
