I now have a business that grossed $50k+ last month just because I was forced to answer the "what did you hack lately" question. YC rejected my application but the hack idea, which I posted on Youtube, had so much interest it became a real company. Thanks YC!
- plinkplonk 9y ago> "what did you hack lately" question. Is this part of the application anymore? I took a quick look and all I could find was "Please tell us about an interesting project, preferably outside of class or work, that two or more of you created together. Include urls if possible. " "Please tell us something surprising or amusing that one of you has discovered. " both of which seem to be, at best, sanitized versions of the original questions which IIRC referred specifically to hacking systems, and impressive achievements of founders. (If somebody has saved the original questions from the PG era, could you confirms this?)
- vqc 9y agoThe application now comes in two parts: one for the "business" and one for each founder. I believe the "hack" question is now in the founder application.
- plinkplonk 9y agoThank You. Very Interesting!
