On a separate note, it honestly sucks how HN has legitimately gone to shit. A lot of old timers are basically boiled frogs and don't realize how alienated most other techies are by HN.
@Dang, ik I've harped about this a thousand times (and I myself have contributed) but y'all legitimately need to fix the toxicity on this board. Lots of early career techies don't want to be associated or go
on HN. I've heard this sentiment across the board from early career interns and friends of mine at Cal, MIT, UIUC, UMich, UW, IIT D/K/M, and Harvard - all feeder programs to YC
People will still apply to YC of course, but the brand has been increasingly tainted. I know for a fact in India Sequoia Surge gets the pick of the litter over YC.
