Myself and my co-founder are doing this in January. We're hoping to get in YC-W12 but if we don't, we're moving to the area anyway. We both have great engineering jobs, but we're tired of working for other people. One thing I would recommend is to make sure you have a strong co-founder who is as interested in it as you are. This is very important because it seems that everyone other than your co-founder will just think you're crazy and having some support is pretty critical to your sanity.
