top256··on Ask HN: Have you received a response for YC Winter 2018 application?
AFAIK they send "yes" and "video interview" before the flat "maybe next time".
top256··on My Google job was tedious and pointless
I remember interviewing for them on site and saying "no thanks I'm not a good fit" after the first interview. They sounded so corporately boring...
top256··on Selling My Bootstrapped SaaS Business
imho this article is a good illustration of how business get bought and not sold. The business has to be able to live on its own and be interesting to be bought. But that means you have less reason to sell
top256··on Ask HN: Is it poor form to clone a startup with little to no competitors?
I started a company doing email delivery 2 years before Sendgrid. Sendgrid appeared and raised tons of funding (we were based in France so it was not possible to raise money at that time).

I got really really scared. Fast forward, 2 years after:

- product becomes cheaper - product becomes more reliable - we were making tons of money - we had more customers

I studied microeconomic a little bit after this and this is exactly what they predict.

TL;DR; it's probably poor form but all participants of your market will be better out of it.

top256··on Ask HN: Anyone here make a 'comeback' from rock bottom? What is your story?
At some point in my life, I had the roof of my appartment literally fell on me, lost my job and my girlfriend... Thanks to some friends and family I did not become homeless but I was inches of that. Now I have a company that did pretty well (bootstrapped) and now I'm building a new startup. I have one kid and I own my appartment.
