Some counterpoints to this:
"No matter how good your hires are, if you defined the wrong position, you will end up hiring people who can’t add value to your company and can’t increase your chances of success."
-> counterpoint: hire great people, regardless of position.
"First off, don’t interview if you’re not willing to put in a tremendous amount of time designing the interview, meeting with the candidates and analyzing the results."
-> counterpoint: YC decides yes or no after a very short interview.
