you're obviously joking, but it'd be interesting if you actually tried :)
people seem so caught up in founders' particular ideas at the pre-seed stage and forget that YC is investing in people - specifically: people who try. you can jokingly quip that you'd be better at forking vs code, but at the end of the day they're doing it - not "waiting for their check" - and you're making fun of them on the internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- drpossum 2y agoYou're right, I am joking. I have my own ventures that carry some dignity. It's also premature for a claim that they are "people who try" as they have not produced anything except mistakes and apologies. Also, maybe consider you're spending your time baselessly defending strangers on the internet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Seems like based on this YC alum [0], the reality these days is otherwise. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41697032 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41697032
