" Damien Katz applied to YC with his Couch DB idea and got rejected (http://damienkatz.net/2006/11/how_not_to_pitc.html http://damienkatz.net/2006/11/how_not_to_pitc.html), "
His blog entry on the YC rejection is dated 11th January 2006. The one on the IBM job is dated 1st january 2008.
So Damien essentially took the rejection in his stride, didn't bother whining, and kept on hacking.
Very impressive.
