I recommend www.podiobooks.com if you are interested in hearing some non-geeky stories. I have really enjoyed listening to some of their content over the last few years. adf471587879rzq

Very informative interview. It definitely shows PGs enthusiam for YC and does a nice job of explaining the rationale behind the company.

Question, for a YC funded company that gets picked up after demo day, what would the average salary of the co-founders be in comparision to someone with comparable experience working in industry (i.e. "in a cubicle)? adf471587879rzq

iamelgringo .... check out the FAQ here: http://www.ycombinator.com/faq.html ... specifically the section "Will you sign an NDA? How do I know you won't steal my idea? "

While the article makes some good points, I can't say I agree with it 100%. When considering the first sentence, "As our knowledge and expertise increase, our creativity and ability to innovate tend to taper off.", I think this is very inaccurate when it comes to "new-growth" areas like the internet of today. In fact, to me the opposite is true, the more I learn, the more creative I feel because it's still very possible to do something on the 'Net that hasn't been done before. adf471587879rzq
