Shameless plug, if you can't sleep, come and drink the cool-aid and chat with other applicants: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1859162

You guys are really sleeping at night? :) Best time to work. Otherwise don't worry, be happy about being a pirate. You will eventually meet your angel either from YC or somewhere else :)

It's definitely not a deal breaker so you probably can get some sleep :)

Haha, not being able to sleep/working at night is a birth defect in my case.. Not because of the YC application, lol :)

I am getting goose bumps all over again. For me it's just like waiting for the graduate school admission results all over again :)

Going to sleep nervous and anxious like Christmas Eve when we were young.

People are sleeping?

power napping in order to attempt to stay focused and productive at work while waiting

LOL...this thread is HILARIOUS.

That's EXACTLY how I feel. Stomach in knots.

Tell me about it!

Yea except unlike Christmas most of us won't be getting a gift tomorrow, or I guess a very, very, disappointing one.

Stop worrying. Write code.

Don't forget the marketing. If you don't do it, nobody is going to do it for you. Today is not too early to start.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Just over the top of my head over the last 16 years I must have written a million lines of code but have sold nothing.

Gotta crack this nut !!

I included that in my random thoughts on the YC application. There's no question about how are you going to market your software and I thought there should be.

Each new line of code you write, will cost you 10 times more in maintenance over time.

Try to remove some lines of code instead ;)
