I'm also a Hack Reactor alum who interviewed at YC this round and our team also met with Justin and Gary. Their feedback was basically, "why haven't you guys quit your jobs and started building this?" To be totally honest, I wasn't expecting such direct feedback, but they were right. Not only that but we already have pretty much every thing we need from the Hack Reactor network in terms of hiring advantages and connections with investors. I dearly love YC for everything they've shared with the world and PG essays are the only reason I left my profitable non-tech business and moved to the US, but we can build this without them. I've quit my job and taken the plunge. We've gotten a first customer and we're going for it. I hope Guy and Shu do, too. I know them and they're formidable both in technical terms and in drive. The question isn't about who will "give" you a chance. It's who can stop you. Maybe Github or Docker will both care enough about and make the effort to take your business. That doesn't mean they can succeed or that you'll be helpless wallflowers when it happens. Based on what I know of you, Shao and Guy, you will still find a win.
