> Leave the Medium thought pieces about when the stock market is going to crash and the effect it’s going to have on the fundraising environment to other people—it’s boring, and history will forget those people anyway.
Blunt. True, but blunt.
Hats off to Sam.
- throwaway2121 11y agoSure, but history will also forget Sam and Ycombinator (Dropbox, AirBnB, give me a break).
- rwallace 11y agoNot if they end up funding the next Ford, IBM or Intel. Hence, I suppose, the point of this post.

- david927 11y agoDan, with all due respect, and I have tons of it for you, it was his remark not mine and I found it cheeky because in my honest opinion, running YC is not significant, certainly not historically. But you're right, it is bitter. My apologies. I take it back. Edit: Why doesn't the delete button last longer? I would like to delete that comment and it's not that old.
- dang 11y agoI don't know what remark you had in mind and am sorry I missed the context there. We recently changed how comment deletion works because too many users were abusing the feature by deleting comments with ongoing replies. We're still happy to delete individual comments on request. I've deleted yours provisionally on the assumption that's what you still want. (If not, let us know.) I've deleted mine as well.
