Reading the comments it seems like not many people here are entreprenuerially-minded. What do others think?

The percentage used to be larger, but has diminished over time.

There are still some of us here, though.

Also, do bear in mind the crowd effect. If it was a post where an pro-entrepreneurship attitude would have been heavily attacked/criticised/downvoted (marketing-related posts on HN don't always attract positivity, for example), many people may have stayed silent.

Same about the Stock Market, which ironically can be the best life stile location independent business...

Day trading, you mean? I've heard mixed things about it - is that something you do?

Could you please share your ideas, why has it diminished? Different audience came, or more people fine with coding in general, without their own business (so old people became more "normal" oriented)?

Oh, follow-up: if you want to read more entrepreneurial content, https://barnacl.es/ is kinda "HN but for bootstrappers".

I read it periodically - interesting stuff.

I would say most of us are entreprenuerially-minded, because it rubs off eventually.
