Title of this post, asked who's charging forward, not who's not charging forwards. Thanks.

Ask HN: Didn't get in YC S11? Are you going to charge forwards anyway?

I'm voting that the original poster should have removed the word 'rockstar' and 'ninja' from the title, specific for HN. Just sayin.

It's basically HN but in real-life, and a smaller scale than HN itself (sans the trolls ;) ). People are nice and friendly. Generally unstructured, basically a social mixer. Main topic: techie stuff + entrepreneurship. Nothing else like thi

Hey Elad, thanks for all the advice. Can you write the same post, but geared for someone at the stage just before that? i.e. going from $0 to seed round.

Your point is perfectly valid, and maybe I should be harder on Vivek to make him better and what he is doing, because it's supposedly self-serving (although I should point out that I'm hardly a beneficiary of any such gains now, since I hav

I'd like to call you out on something my gut tells me. IMHO, you come across to me as someone who's bitter. You're bitter that it took you 11 years to get your green card, therefore all these other younger kids shouldn't have an easier time

The point is job creation. Not novelty of business model.

I don't get why so many people are attacking Vivek. Step back from trying to eval() every single tiny detail to death. The bigger point here is that he is helping shine a light on a huuuuuge pain for immigrant founders in the US that hasn

This is a legitimate point of view, that perhaps developers don't want to hear. Disclaimer: I'm a developer, so I understand the challenge to undo. However, I also realize that I'm building for normal people (i.e. not myself). There is no n
