- josteink 13y agoNope. I had to search the internet, article and finally this thread, trying to find out what it meant. As far as I can tell, the other answer on your comment seem to be the only place on the internet where this usage of this acronym is documented.
- mcintyre1994 13y agoPG might have coined the term then, the others are here: http://ycombinator.com/rfs.html http://ycombinator.com/rfs.html
- iamwil 13y agoIt stands for Request for Startups, which is a wink and nod (reference) to documents that describe internet standards, which are called RFC. For example, the document that lays out the HTTP protocol is RFC2616 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616 What does RFC stand for? "Request for Comments". Presumably, because standards have to be reviewed by other people and get their feedback. I assume the spirit is same here.
