Could you clarify how that relates to the parent? (The parent was wrong on at least two counts, but not due to bogus elitism that I could detect.)

"Oh and don't tell the YC guys that you are hardly a hacker. They wont like that."

The definition of "hacker" is somewhat arbitrary but is nonetheless given inflated status by the majority of this community, it seems.

(I could be mistaken, of course.)
