I think this an example of the typical maturation process of a young entrepreneur, which is characterized by initial focus on cargo-cult superficialities and glam, optimism born of naiveté, and Dunning–Kruger-like and overconfidence in one's own abilities. This is typically followed by the realization that business is tough, the failure rate is high, and you are probably lucky enough or special enough to be the exception. But this experience is still valuable; in many cases, success comes from experience, but experience comes from failure. And until YC eventually saturates the planet with 10,000 ex-founders, it looks good on the resume (for now).
