To be honest, I don't care :)
And copying our work was good enough to get them into YC so guess mission accomplished. Hopefully YC doesn't condone this type of behavior.
When the CEO and 11 other employees sign up for someone else's service to copy it, it seems originality might be in short supply.
- hamburglar 12y agoIt seems like people think you're commenting about this because you want them stopped, which doesn't seem to be the case to me. You just want it acknowledged that they did this shitty thing. I agree that it's shitty and I assume it's not actionable and think you're right to just be right out in the open saying "well, they stole our design and got away with it... more power to them." I do wonder if HN leadership has any comments on this type of behavior, because it really does look shitty coming from one of their teams.
- asanwal 12y agoI didn't post the original link. Honestly, I'd love for them to be stopped but this is the internet after all :) I, like you, am curious if YC condones this type of copying esp since the CEO admitted it on Twitter. But it's shitty and our team does a lot of hard work so I do hate to see it copied. That said, we've seen plenty of unoriginal folks do similar stuff in the past, and they've all failed as they focus on us while we focus on customers.
