It's funny, I wrote an essay (that I haven't published yet) over the weekend about being a female founder. It has some of the same sentiments as Amanda's post. It was surprising how little of my advice seemed very specific to being a female.

oh cool! excited to read it when it's ready. yeah agree re: lack of female-specific advice. seems to me you either do it or you don't.

Love how Amanda's advice was all generic, also. It shouldn't make a difference what gender or species you are for YC, and it doesn't.
