No, just saying that this is advice given to YC applicants on how to quickly describe their startups. I referenced pg because, you know, he wrote the article and it seemed applicable.
Maybe it's because I really don't know much about music or guitar/bass players, but the impression I got was he was trying provide some of the collaboration features that GitHub does -- a place to store public work, a way to comment or fork others work, a place to educate and be educated.
As for "why GitHub?", I have no idea. Bitbucket and CodePlex would have worked. However, I know more about GitHub and certainly use it more that than the other two. So, at least for me, the comparison worked.
And, of course, you are right. There are any number of ways he could have described it, many that would have worked just as well.
I do, now, see where you are coming from -- the title didn't really convey the right idea for you. That, I think, is actually useful for the OP. Thanks for the explanation.
