Yeah, it's tough to get traction. Especially without some kind of history. And for people who like to participate in all sorts of different fields, you constantly have to keep proving yourself.
It's too bad human psychology works that way and ideas can't be judged at face value. I'm sure there's a lot of amazing and useful ideas that just didn't have the personal history behind the implementers that failed to gain traction. HN gives me hope though, since there's a ton of smart people who are willing to give new ideas a chance.
