Continuing that line of reasoning, that makes 37signals the more "credible" source because they're unbiased. YC has a vested financial interest in lots of youn

  On the other hand, 37signals remains, for the most part, the story of one success. YC has the chance to participate in and collect experience from many.

    "the story of one success" - only if you consider the company succeeding as their sole success. But another metric is to compare the number of successful products 37signals has put out. They've made a bunch of apps and most (all?) of them do very well in their respective areas (lots of paying customers!) because of the common development philosophy they share. In other words, when it comes to their ideas on how to build stuff well (a mix of agile programming and user-centered design they call Getting Real) they put their money where their mouths are. http://gettingreal.37signals.com/ http://gettingreal.37signals.com/
