A few questions, intended constructively:
> I didn’t even want to hear back - I just like to fill out the application as a writing exercise, to help me get a snapshot of my own thinking around what I’m building.
When someone submits an application to YC, asking to be considered, do you think it's reasonable for YC to expect that submission to be in good faith -- that the person would like to pursue next steps if YC is interested?
Do you think they sensed that your application wasn't a genuine application, and that affected their response?
> got a less-than-thoughtful response bordering on personally insulting (“TL;DR - why don’t you go back to your day job?”)
Is that a literal quote of something someone responded to you, or is it an interpretation of the gist of the response?
