Will you read over my application? Would love feedback!
- sytse 10y agoYes, please coordinate with kirsten@gitlab.com for a 25 minute Google Hangout with me, please link to this comment in your email to her. If the advice is generic enough we might work with you to publish it https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/ceo-preferences/#pick-your-brain-meetings https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/ceo-pref... (you have a final say in what gets published). This process was also used to produce the OP.
- jontonsoup 10y agoOh wow that's awesome. Thanks! Will send an email.
- sytse 10y agoGreat, looking forward to it.
- jnpatel 10y agoSid, willing to meet with us too? It'd be very appreciated! (I totally understand you can't do this for everyone who'll ask.) P.S. I'm also open to a peer feedback session for anyone else applying!
- sytse 10y agoI'd be happy to. Shall we make it a video call other people can join too? Tomorrow, Saturday, at 11:00 Pacific? I'll be in https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573 https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573 at that time for anyone that can discuss their application publicly. If you attend please comment so, if you can't also comment so we can try to find an alternative. By the way, I'm a YC participant and not a YC partner. I don't speak for YC and I'm just trying to help.
- jnpatel 10y agoSounds great, looking forward to chatting with you and others!
- sytse 10y agoGreat, looking forward to it too.

- mellavora 10y agowildfire looks kindof cool.
- sytse 10y agoYeah, jnpatel (Jay's) app http://www.wildfireapp.io/ http://www.wildfireapp.io/ does look cool. I wonder how they get the data for that.
- icebraining 10y agoI got curious too; in the Berkeleyside article about it, they say "right now, posts come from a combination of community users, Wildfire staffers and local news partners, including Berkeleyside. To verify information, and decide whether or not to push out an alert to the community, the team checks posts against what is released by authorities and the local media, too."
- sytse 10y agoI'm waiting for you in https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573 https://gitlab.zoom.us/j/351494573
- jnpatel 10y agoI'm seeing "Please wait for the host to start this meeting"
- dvdhsu 10y agoSid, are you willing to meet with us quickly too? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
- sytse 10y agoSure! Are you able to join https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12616194 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12616194 ?
- dvdhsu 10y agoIf possible, private would be better for us. I'd be happy to make literally any 25' slot you have over the next 2 days. This is really generous of you, and we really appreciate it. Thanks!
- sytse 10y agoNo problem, please email kirsten@gitlab.com to coordinate a time, please link to this comment, if you want it the next 2 days my preference is Sunday 4pm Pacific but I'm not sure that works for you. I propose we do https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/ceo-preferences/#pick-your-brain-meetings https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/people-operations/ceo-pref... (you get to redact the notes)
