@bigoink YC is all about “build something people want” but that’s false. Most of the products in this batch don’t have something people want. At least not yet. Let’s see how the current batch unfolds, maybe the first 9 accepted ones are the most impressive. But could it be the case that YC...

@bmag777 That’s how I know you are destined for success. Good luck king!

@tenderloin This is the plan!

@jr620 What did I not show? The 86% number is from the LinkedIn article that I included, here's the exact quote: > With regards to geography, 86% of the batch founders were based in the Bay Area despite a remote-friendly program Would you interpret that as 86% moved in, or were already based...

@sanyambe All good - in the end, I'm just observing based on available information to me. I personally feel that there is a huge disconnect between the persona that YC positions itself to be for, versus who actually gets admitted. But still, I could be 100% wrong.

@neena56 20 people out of the full batch is still a vast minority. You’re still proving my point. Also, I pointed out that I might be salty myself; I’m self-aware. Trying to draw a correlation between my success (or lack of) and the fact that I spent 10 minutes of my day to create a short...

@neena56 You think I expected to trick YC into investing? Do you think I expect them to be brain dead? That is the most bizzare cope I’ve ever heard.

@jesuspleasesaveme I can't share any details. I don't want to create enemies... I know my bluntness can piss people off. I'm in my mid-twenties, middle-class, and attended a very average university (mostly to please my parents). I'm a tech freak, I've been building products for as long as I can...

A few weeks ago I posted about how Y Combinator is all about prestige. You can read my old post here: It was quite funny watching people coping in the comments, arguing that Y Combinator is fair and ultimately it all boils down to skills. Get better! Speak to customers! Get more MRR! It's all...
