Good YC Applications, More Interviews
- vidushi 16y agoI am getting goose bumps all over again. For me it's just like waiting for the graduate school admission results all over again :)
- bpierce 16y agoGoing to sleep nervous and anxious like Christmas Eve when we were young.
- danielsiders 16y agoPeople are sleeping?
- bpierce 16y agopower napping in order to attempt to stay focused and productive at work while waiting
- marcamillion 16y agoLOL...this thread is HILARIOUS. That's EXACTLY how I feel. Stomach in knots.

- henrikberggren 16y agoTell me about it!
- deleted 16y ago[deleted]
- chrischen 16y agoYea except unlike Christmas most of us won't be getting a gift tomorrow, or I guess a very, very, disappointing one.
- cperciva 16y agoStop worrying. Write code.
- patio11 16y agoDon't forget the marketing. If you don't do it, nobody is going to do it for you. Today is not too early to start.
- vidushi 16y agoI couldn't agree with you more. Just over the top of my head over the last 16 years I must have written a million lines of code but have sold nothing. Gotta crack this nut !!
- leftnode 16y agoI included that in my random thoughts on the YC application. There's no question about how are you going to market your software and I thought there should be.
- nivertech 16y agoEach new line of code you write, will cost you 10 times more in maintenance over time. Try to remove some lines of code instead ;)

- jerryrreynolds 16y agoEarly today I was calm and collected but now I am perfectly anxious in anticipation! As my mentor once told me, if your not nervous for moments like this, then you don't care!

- 619Cloud 16y agoShameless plug, if you can't sleep, come and drink the cool-aid and chat with other applicants: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1859162 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1859162
- bali 16y agoYou guys are really sleeping at night? :) Best time to work. Otherwise don't worry, be happy about being a pirate. You will eventually meet your angel either from YC or somewhere else :)
- lampard789 16y agoIt's definitely not a deal breaker so you probably can get some sleep :)
- bali 16y agoHaha, not being able to sleep/working at night is a birth defect in my case.. Not because of the YC application, lol :)
- addoway 16y agoYeah not going to bed tonight. Too much adrenaline pumping to let it go to waste. Easier to just keep working. Good luck everyone!
