After just talking about it for a while, I'm finally starting an online campaign to get Khan on the TED stage. He has an idea very much worth spreading. Hell, they even let me speak at TED, so please take a minute or two to nominate Salman

I've also found myself leaning on this analogy to describe the ideal non-technical co-founder. When it comes to dealing with any non-technical problem, you'd damn well better be Mr Wolf and just get shit done.

I often train into the BWI Amtrak station, so if you happen to ever see a tall white guy with a reddit/breadpig/YC/threadless shirt (I don't have a lot of diversity) -- say hi! And then we can lament the often crappy service together.

So happy you caught it. It should be another great event. (Even tough I'm a YC employee now, I can honestly say they seem to get better every year).

Having both been to and missed Startup Schools in the past, the recorded talks capture 99% of the experience. Granted, it doesn't offer the same opportunities for collaboration & discussion with your fellow startup geeks, but I know I f

Haha, yes, I did a pretty bad job of 'hiding' it. But however you end up getting to startup school, I hope you'll apply.

Oh, more dealflow is one thing I definitely don't want these days now that I'm @YCombinator :) I've halted considering any new DasKapitalCapital.com investments. That said, I love the Hacker Angels group. They represent a lot of what's ri

This whole episode was quite an impressive feat by Arrington. As one of the many "not-super" angels in the world, it validated something that was only hearsay until Arrington confirmed it -- which has then given Conway a chance to chastise

Much appreciated! I can assure you Adam & Steve are obsessive when it comes to product speed and usability. The user experience is paramount. We'll never bombard with ads or try and do anything to keep folks from the fastest, most agony

Sorry this reply took so long (I just saw your comment). Thanks for the great testimonial. Pasadena is a lovely town - hope you have a splendid trip!

Back in the very early reddit days, Steve on at least one occasion waited for a user to request a certain feature via feedback and would push it a little while later. This of course gave the impression that he'd just put written that code

Aye, YC is probably one of the strongest startup-related brands these days. It's shocking to see how well people respond to my relationship to YC these days. Back when Steve & I started reddit, we had to explain to nearly everyone just

As a Skins season ticket holder and now marketing dude at hipmunk, I'm doubleplus thrilled about this great site. Well done, Seat Geek. Such a universal problem across every single ticket site -- solved!

Fwiw, I'll still be at Startup School. Thanks for asking PG, but I know he's got a lot of top tier speakers to choose from.

How can I say no to this? I'm getting in touch with the organizers for this year's Startup Bootcamp. I'll have to fly back that night, though, but it can work...

Steve & I are still recovering from the Toronto reddit meetup (drankkit). Those Waterloo students... wow...

I was thrilled that made it into the TC piece ~ 2 years in and things are beyond my wildest expectations for breadpig.com (in fact, I'm announcing my first full-time hire shortly). We're aiming to be a Newman's Own for Nerds: We sell geeky

Thanks, Jkan. I've always felt your open-source reddit announcement is one day going to launch that voiceacting career. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo4O4T-7BiE

I'll have you know that is the only time Steve & I have ever been 'spotted' in the wild. We still joke about it because we can't believe it actually happened -- thanks for making our day. And yes, I'm a big fan of moms. They carry our

Whoa, I remember you! I rarely get approached while wearing a reddit shirt; leave it to a random encounter in Thailand for me to finally meet a redditor excited about our site. What you didn't see was that I was actually "backpacking" aroun
