These are some really nice hints. I'd also stress out some pg also gives on the whole application process:
Drew' (from dropbox) application (good for a good example): http://files.dropbox.com/u/2/app.html http://files.dropbox.com/u/2/app.html

- ultrasaurus 16y agoWow, you see from Drew's application is that he's a good writer and a great communicator. I've been using dropbox happily so I'm sure he's a great coder too, but I wonder if 90% your application conveys is how well you'll sell users on your product down the road. (also there seem to be a fair number of concrete examples)
- DanielRibeiro 16y agoOn this video (http://ycombinator.posterous.com/dropbox-interview-now-online http://ycombinator.posterous.com/dropbox-interview-now-onlin...), Jessica Livingston interviews Drew. Besides being an interesting interview, it reveals that he was rejected the first time he tried out YC.
