The majority of HN participants are now, not founders themselves. Founders have to focus on signal over noise. People who are not founders focus on... whatever.

This perspective seems extremely close minded, almost as if suggesting those who are not 'founders' (of silicon valley startups?) are incapable of rational thought or action.
There are many executives who have never 'founded' a VC backed company who would heartily disagree, not to mention all of the humans with other credentials who process information, make decisions and create value.
I just meant founders of any company, not necessarily SV ones. Sorry if it came off as very reductionistic, but I was trying to phrase things quickly and simply. If you're not looking for real life tips on how to build products and gain traction and stuff, then any topic is fair game. As online communities transform from niche-based places, to general purpose hangouts, the content can get watered down.
It's called Hacker News, not Founder News. It's right there in the title. Also, many of these "founders" are noise for LinkedIn . Anyone in their pajamas can start a single person LLC out of their bedroom and call themselves a "founder". Heck most don't even do that step anymore. I'm more interested with what an experienced grey beard has to say than some 20 something "founder" of some terrible, half-baked idea that was generated via an LLM.
