I can't tell if this is sarcasm, so at the risk of looking foolish, I'll just say, pressing the door close button on an elevator almost always does nothing. In most elevators it's not even connected to anything behind the pan

I have noticed this language about avoiding signaling in previous YC announcements and I think its a great thing to be cognizant of. Setting aside the fact that YC itself is an enormous signal, its a sign of maturity to realize that even yo
