My first reaction was: "oh no, not another post from this guy." It was better than his earlier stuff, and makes him seem less of a jerk. Still, his is the only YC company I'm not really rooting for to succeed; an IPO or acquisition would

I wasn’t too surprised when Garcia-Martinez confessed to me this week that he studied journalism in college—the posts wouldn’t be nearly as provocative if they weren’t so well written. Ugh... is this ass-kissing some kind of journalistic
