Good job... your insights were great and description of the event was well written. As a developer I think there is a need but I do see point of YC, that your position is precarious. Good luck!

"that had led me to drop everything in search of myself." You are a deeply broken person if you think that running is courageous. Being a boss is not for everyone. My company had $15M in receivables due from Countrywide when it f

I'm a little confused by your app/product. You say every person experiences a product differently, so how can you catch the essence of that experience in a tweet? While I agree that the current state of reviews, bites. I think

Writing code is not about remembering algorithms. Its about finding the most efficient way to perform a task. If someone on SO has a good solution, use it. Good doctors and engineers consult reference material to come up with the best co

Not trying to argue with you. I'm only pointing out that if they felt they "needed" you they would have clarified that by now. They may think they are "helping" you out by giving you some real world experience. My

Yea... this is something you should have talked about on day -1. You can really mess up relationships by not getting the expectations out there and then making sure everyone lives up to them. I would have a conversation with ownership and

I've been doing this a LONG time... At first I used to read all the dev sites and attend conventions, but at some point you can only focus on so many things. Now I only follow languages I can write in. I tried RoR a few years ago, whe

I don't get your biz at all... Guess I'm not privileged to your revenue model (I hope its not dependent on ad spend), but usually when its hard for investors to see a business without a presentation from management, it's a pa

what is the fascination with the word "founder"? I think it puts unnecessary importance on the team that started the business. A company has different needs at different times in its life and a "founder" is always the

Hmm... I guess I don't understand. My view is that in natural sciences there are so many variables that can act on a given system that you could never truly do isolation testing. However in your scenario, you're saying mutate a &

You should hire the best candidates possible. I would never consider the issue unless my workforce represented a significant portion of the community. In my opinion if a startup has to waste resources thinking about anything but hiring th

I'm not sure this type of testing is necessary, since we (computer scientists) can break down a complete system into is parts and then test them in various manners. Production performance shouldn't deviate from that of test envir

There's been a discussion of object vs functional for 30 years. I've yet to hear a compelling argument for one or the other, but OOP seems to be easier for more people to grasp since it strives to replicate the attributes/me

Your first step is to define "good" at this stage. Is "good" a guy that can make you a prototype within your budget or do you want a coding god that can build the company for the next 5 years. Startups are like children
