Should be titled "In my tiny world, all companies provide software services over the internet".<p>I've noticed this attitude across HN, and articles it links to. In particular, "startup" refers to a particular narrow breed of dotcom-bubble style company. I develop for a technology startup that uses custom software to help accomplish its (unique) manufacturing goals. A lot of what I read on HN is relevant to me, so I find it quite irksome when I come across a post that doesn't even acknowledge the existence of a company like mine.
