"It goes without saying that until we actually make it into YC, these hacks, ideas, and suggestions are totally worthless."
So they are only sharing what they did, not what was successful. I'd rather work on my business than spend obscene amounts of time hacking the YC application process. If I don't get in, I'll still have the product, those who try to hack the system will only have the knowledge of what doesn't work.
- colbyh 15y agoDid you read the same article as I did? Nothing they are doing seems that extreme and looks to have actually helped their product - other than possibly reading the PG articles which I think most people should do anyways. I'm pretty sure using the CrunchBase API (such an underrated tool) didn't take long to figure out either, as Eric isn't much of a slouch. Disclaimer: Current Austinite and fan/friend of Forecast.
