Wow, that whole thing was completely devoid of useful content. Does it even say what the product or service is?

"We’ve also added a few contractors to the team. And these guys are legends. They come straight from the ProjectionLab user community"

So... the product was obviously built, because it had a "user community;" so now they've added contractors? Whoop dee doo.

Is there some advice or playbook we're supposed to take away from this? Or is it self-congratulatory spam?

Why are you being such a stick-in-the-mud? It's an interesting and inspiration post on HN about a successfull bootstrapped indie startup. HN is primarily a startup & tech-driven community, so obviously we're all interested in stories like this. In fact, I miss the days where HN was almost solely startup post-mortems or success stories. How is the post even remotely self-congratulatory spam?
