Welcome x 11

While under PG, YC kept things small, specific, and focused. Don't get me wrong, I think Sam is doing an absolutely fantastic job. However there is a stark contrast in scale, speed, and vision.

Is that a typo or a file name? Hmmm, I might just add "Creator of the Universe.txt" to my resume.

The first was that these additions seem excellent and that YC will be much more capable and robust by virtue of them.

The second was a reflection on the criticism written against VC in the press for investing in "their buddies' companies" (ex: a16z partners investing in their friends' --who are experienced entrepreneurs with big visions-- companies) and whether we will see a narrative in the future against the common practice of VC firms hiring what can be seen from the outside as "their friends".

(personally I think the practice makes sense since you've often worked with them before and know their character and abilities)

Instead of laughing at ourselves for having misread a title as suggesting that YC might actually contribute something back, we should be publicly shaming them for not doing so and being an open source free-rider.
