YC is a for profit corporation not a charity. Their sole purpose is to turn startups into highly profitable businesses. So in that context "build what people want" makes total sense to me. They are not offering you half a million

Dealers will slowly fade away as online car shopping becomes more common. Volvo for example is aiming at 2030 as the year they turn 100% online. It's reasonable to assume all other car makers will do the same. There's absolutely n

Individual contributions may be negligible at a large scale in the short term but they have the potential for global impact if you give them enough time, not talking about a few years but generations. An uneducated mechanic and his wife dec

This is expected so don't feel too bad about it and move on to the next interview. Recruiting is one of those things that is beyond broken and no one knows or cares how to fix. I interviewed for all types of companies, big and small, f

I don't think that's the job of project managers. They are there to keep the project within scope, schedule and budget, find the resources you need and remove distractions so that you can focus on your craft. At least in my experi
