   Yes, I was joking. Perhaps this is not the thread for sarcasm ;) Incidentally both Gates and Jobs started their companies sans YCombinator. Anything's possible (you could add mark z to that list). It's about validation, resource allocat

   I used it at jamba juice about 3 months ago. I was the first at that location, and the whole staff came out to try and figure out how to get it to work. It took about 1.25 man hours (15 minutes * (4 staff + me)) to use the free $10 for jo

   First, Sergey is one of the coolest people alive today, maybe ever. That said I feel that Facebook/Apple have built their "walled gardens" through the free-market, and therefore are entitled to such. If people don't like it, they are free

    The problem here is that you're segregating the "world's best programmers" without explaining how you selected them. The more relevant question here is what makes someone the "best" at something. You're also using a limited angle of succes
