I'm part time right now, but will be starting full time in January. Wish me luck! If anyone has the karma for it, (I don't) maybe we could get a poll started? This would work well as a poll.

I started using a notebook to capture ideas as they occur to me. As a policy I do not maintain any structure or withhold any topics; I just write whatever I'm thinking below the last thing I wrote. This is really useful as a way to free you

I am addicted to the Stuff You Should Know podcast. Great choice if your interests are varied. They publish frequently and there's a huge back log of good topics.

We've considered expanding into this realm in the future. We will probably launch next weekend. Senotable.com.

Is there no way to get out of the "Guided Parametric Search" realm? Maybe you could add something to your search capabilities or rethink a part of it such that you are no longer a reasonable target for this company. This is probably what I

Myself and my co-founder are doing this in January. We're hoping to get in YC-W12 but if we don't, we're moving to the area anyway. We both have great engineering jobs, but we're tired of working for other people. One thing I would recommen

I try to tackle most of my project by just jumping in. It's definitely the best way to learn. I don't let any decision take more than a few minutes unless it's really essential to the project then I would do maybe 10 minutes of cursory rese

Learn how to google is actually better advice than you may think. If you're serious about this, you should pick a skill that is commonly necessary in a startup (hacking, design, business relationships, PR, something??) and master it. Best p

I can't think of a single reason why you would need my email address other than to email me. Also, I feel like most of the questions had all those choices for no reason. I don't know how much meaningful information you could discerne by a p

We're actually about to launch (probably this weekend or next) a service that already exists. We just don't think our service has been done very well yet, so we're not that worried. We just decided that we won't over build it at first. We'r

Hackers for hire are (generally) much more hit-or-miss as far as capability (dedication really) goes. This is kind of a worse-case, but just think of all the government websites out there that are nearly unusable. It's because the coders ha

You could pull from the Twitter playbook. I know I would drop by paulgraham.com/feed a few times per week if I could get the same PG wisdom in just a few hundred characters.

Thanks a lot for the comment mchusma. It's definitely scary to start something that may be shut down. We wouldn't worry so much if the state we expect to be in (CA) wasn't one of the states with the problem. We're still considering moving f

Now that's an idea. Good job. (Not that the other one is bad. This is just my preference)

I think I expected the number to be in that range, It just seems large so I just didn't want to seem crazy. But that being the case, should I expect to be 1 of 65 in the next batch? 1 of 70? ;) Ok. That was tricky. I'll ask it in a less loa

It seems that with each session, YC takes on more and more companies. Will this extra help continue to make this a YC norm? Has there been an upper limit defined?

I think there is a trick to this. If the local event you're developing your product around is actually specific to one location, I would say it's probably a bad idea. For example, I'm in the DC area (for now) and I would consider it to be a

Thanks for the reply. That's interesting. Do you know if this was by choice or if they just couldn't make their original model work in Durham?

by dgunn 15y ago
I noticed LaunchBox in the article and with all the Durham-ites replying to this post, it's a perfect time to ask: Are they still a thing? Their website shows no signs of having the program again this year and their last blog post was in Fe

This is awesome! However, I'm using IE right now (I'm at work, there's no way I would use IE on purpose) and the button doesn't drag to the bookmark bar. Is the button necessary? Maybe after highlighting, the share dialog just pops up. Mayb

I think it's very useful to actually see, in numeric format, a continuum of possibilities. I think it’s wrong to create a blanket rule of, “every great startup shall have >1 founder” as some projects simply won’t need more than one. Tha

I agree. Before we started our project we had to decide which web framework to use. We chose Django because we're comfortable with python. Also, django seemed to be very well documented. (The others may also have great docs. I don't know ca
