My apologies on behalf of YC. I deleted that job post, and asked the companies in this batch not to post this sort of thing anymore.

My apologies on behalf of YC. I deleted that job post, and asked the companies in this batch not to post this sort of thing anymore.
- davelnewton 15y agoI kinda wanted to see it, though, so I had some context.
- avree 15y agoIt was a post titled "YC S11 Company Seeks Rails Architect". It began "We're an exciting young explosive company. Our users are true evangelists—wearing our gear, drinking from our shot glasses, and shouting cheers to our name..." The rest was equally as vague and platitude-filled.
- jamesbritt 15y agoStill, makes me wonder how many explosives companies at in YC. :)
- tibbon 15y agoI mis-read this as "We're an exciting young exploitative company". The things my mind does some days. Thankfully, that's not at all what it said.
- startupcto 15y agoNo apologies needed :) . I was just trying to point out a disturbing trend.
- MatthewB 15y agoFor me, even the most minimal description is sufficient: "We're in niche X." Example: We're in cloud storage. That gives away nothing about your "secret sauce" while still providing the minimal amount of info needed for a hacker to know if they are interested in what you are building.
