Darn, I was hoping to read the commentary on this. Seems like YC doesn't cotton to the idea of "mid-skilled" being enough. All these people straining so hard with the side projects and so on, to achieve a little more, it wears me out even as I force myself to go home to take my kid to the dentist - It'll take me longer to master spark shuffling algorithms, but whatever. I got to hear (and later mock) the dentist scolding my son for having mold in his braces. He laughed. And my kids are probably going to be more average than I am - I do hope our society can use their skills and pleasant qualities effectively. Only providing work for uptight but high-skilled people is not so great.
