I would caution that Hacker News is both fairly biased towards a developers view of the world, and also often unrealistic when it comes to things outside of technology. As the technical founder the best thing you can do to grow is actually to spend time learning about management and also the non-technical aspects of running a business. I wouldn't rely on Hacker News for these things. Instead look for local entrepreneur round tables or social groups and hang out with the non-technical roles.
Counterpoint, the threads about parler were a dumpsterfire as HN users around the world tried to create 1:1 comparisons between US current events and BLM protests in the Summer in order to support Parler's complete contempt for both moderation and open debate.

IMO the discussion was at least as insightful as I'd expect from a top level MBA classroom.
