This is an interesting article, but I will admit what I really want to know is: how do I figure out if a given startup is good for me?

The people here at HN seem to have had wildly different experiences with various startups, and I'm a bit leery of walking myself into an impending disaster.

That's a great idea for a blog post, thanks!

If you're willing to share, what are some of the stories, fears, or worries you've heard or have?

Good question - I will need some time to think through my response. I'll be back here later.
