   Isn't the job post going to explain that information? Why would he put all the terms/conditions of employment at the bottom of the post. And when you're recruiting for your company and write something related, a simple "We're hiring" link r

   Get well-rested beforehand. Usually they'll have all the caffeine you need, but having a clear mind really helps you keep going at 3am. Talk to a lot of people (everybody) when you're there. Hackathons are a great way to meet intriguing peo

    Could this be because some people (at 120,000 now) are unliking and dropping the count for a moment?

    Thank you. Most people who are in the Bay or follow YC happenings should be familiar with most of this, but I thought it might be helpful to new applicants or those teams who don't know YC alumni and could benefit from a bit of inside acces

    I think that is a great idea; as jconley pointed out, the YC app is first and foremost a great way to deep-think about your startup and how you'll be successful. Any time spent understanding the reasoning behind the questions and how to con

    How has Docusign not been mentioned? Speaking from a developer perspective, their API is far and away the most flexible and easiest to get started with. Integrating with Adobe will definitely give EchoSign a bit more visibility (they really

    Thats kinda the rub; you don't get to choose whether you have a yofile, any friend can create and edit one for you. The fun part (at least for us when playing with it) is joking around on your friends' yofiles. Because it is anonymous we're
