There aren't many positive toplevel comments, and I don't think that's a reasonable situation for such a fine piece of writing. So: Your story is wonderfully illustrative, in-depth, and inspirational. Thank you for taking the time to share it. For what it's worth, I really like your writing style. I hope to see much more of it!

I second this. This article just steered me more towards SF instead of Seattle because it answered a lot of my questions.

    You had me at Pixar. I think Bay Area is where the best of hippie and techie cultures mesh together. I know it's changed a lot in the last decade but there is always life left in that little group of rebels that keeps humanity moving forward.

I agree. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the author, many of the comments here are focusing on nitpicking a single remark/context. It feels so odd to read lousy comments for an article that goes into great depth of a personal experience. While I'm not a very educated in startups, this was a pleasant read and I loved the 'straight to the point' approach for discussing individual experiences.

She has a fantastic writing style. Very engaging and informative. It was great to get an inside look at the YC experience. I especially like how vision driven she is!

Thanks sillysaurus3! For founders, I am very responsive over email. If you have specific questions some me some electronic mail. If you want to build a company but don't know where to start I recommend signing up for Startup School. https://blog.ycombinator.com/onlineclass/ https://blog.ycombinator.com/onlineclass/ Unrelated to this post, but related to dinosaurs if you like dinosaurs and want to dig some up this summer with me get in touch. I'm inviting roughly 100 people. We found a triceratops two years ago. It's been in the ground for over 65 million years. http://imgur.com/a/X6h8v http://imgur.com/a/X6h8v
