Insightful article that would have benefited from a less sensationalist headline. "Hacking the Y Combinator Application Process" makes a promise that you fail to deliver on.
- lloydarmbrust 14y agoTo be fair, I said "How We..." Did it. Also, I made sure to clarify the point of the post with the beginning disclaimer. Apologies if you felt mislead. LMK a better title and ill change it. Also, I hope there's plenty of stuff in there that demonstrates how to write a good application.
- rolux 14y agoNo need to apologize. The meaning of "hacking" has changed over time, and of course you're free to contribute to that.
