Agreed, I've personally been in Juwo's position too many times to count. As entrepreneurs, I'm would guess we've all had that experience where we've been labeled outsiders, ridiculed and "written off." I've even developed a saying: "When

It also implies a collaboration with YC, which doesn't exist. Regardless, I think it will be hard to fully replicate the YC model, because it's unlikely these firms will generate the following YC has. This following equates to attention, p

The way Steve puts it - his original motivation for using python over RoR is that there's too much "magic" involved in rails. I think he doesn't think things being done for him, and rails does a lot for you... That compounded with rails be

And that "lifestyle" is pretty good, actually. Actually, no, it's not. At least, it's not for me. Several of the businesses I've built in the past are "lifestyle" businesses. They're supporting me, they're paying my way through school,

Reddit's moving towards Django. It seems like they're outgrowing web.py, which is really meant for quick & simple web apps.

What was he banned from? It looks like he's still posting on News.YC. I guess banned just means YC has decided not to invest in the guy, permanently? At least it looks like he learned from his mistakes, props to him for being so honest ab

When Steve & Alexis merged reddit w/ infogami (creating Not A Bug), they all received equal equity. The word on the street is that the relationship wasn't as prosperous as the three had hoped. After a few months, Aaron stopped putting in l

Good post - and very true. Almost every popular site is no more than 2-3 syllables, memorable, easy to pronounce, and a .com. Google, MSN, Yahoo, Digg, Reddit, GMail, the list goes on... Too bad the squatters have got almost every other UR

This was probably one of the more motivating speeches I've heard in a while. It's especially significant once you've watched Pirates of Silicon Valley. I can only hope that - in the next decade - some of us will be giving speeches this mem

I'm curious how this will be different from pornotube... It's surprising that this got written up in TechCrunch, when there's no real site there yet. There must be some pretty big names behind the project. I've personally seen techcrunch d

Why do you think this is too much? It seems a search box or better RSS functionality is pretty basic. If not, then huge props to Jason for developing a News.YC search on his own time. It looks like on the features request page, a lot of ot

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of dapper. But, if your logic holds - then why does any site bother to create RSS feeds anymore? Regardless, tried using the site, wasn't able to make an RSS feed of articles and their comments. Maybe s

PG - first this is a great site. I'm addicted. But, here are my (personal) feature requests: - Give us a way to send feedback without spamming the home page! (like I am...) - Add user comments to the RSS feed - Allow member-to-member mess

I'm also interested in how many of the top 30 applied and didn't get interviews? Of course, there are a lot of confounding variables here. A higher offer rate among the YC top 30 could possibly have nothing to do with karma. For example,
