EDIT: Though I value transparency over most anything else, I'm removing the majority of this at Nick's (freshplum founder) request. To make a long story short: there was a configuration error on the server which allowed for discovery of features freshplum hadn't meant to launch yet. Nothing to be ashamed of, especially for a startup. But I heard there was a company working to fix this sort of thing. ;)

Nice obfuscation of your email address.

If you're in the current YC class, you should know there are more effective options for you to do your hiring plugs than polluting other threads.

  Hey Michael - Thanks for your feedback. I'm not sure it's out of line to plug that we're hiring...especially in a post about my departure to join Freshplum. You are right - there are more effective options. However we're at the stage where we'll take whatever chance we'll get to spread the word. As a small startup with limited resources you have to stay hungry.

    First of all, congratulations, Sam. You're an inspiration to us all, and I wish you (and Freshplum) the best of luck. It's definitely not out of line to plug that you're hiring-- my point was that you would be better to avail yourself of the special "hiring for YC company" posts built into the system, and I see that you've done exactly that.

  In this thread, people can ask him question, something that can't be done on job postings.

Is the Olive Garden reference a metaphor or other abstract thing like Fresh Plum? I thought it was a restaurant chain in the US.

  I imagine it just means that Nick is a recent graduate whose last job was at a restaurant. I worked at O'Charley's in college before I got my first dev job.

  I think I had Nick as a server at the Olive Garden, once. I'm pretty sure he's a better engineer than a waiter. I did get a free Sprite off of him though.
