There's a few other recipes as well. Now that PG is retiring from leading YC and running Hacker News, maybe he can write the "Ramen Profitable Cookbook"?

One of the most interesting things about the site to me was the navigation system. There is an "up" button and a "next" button in the navigation panel on the pages. It is conceptually set up as a file directory--which has been replaced in navigation with the modern convention of "forward" and "back" buttons.

Woah. He was such a nerd! And I mean that in an endearing way - cars, drawings, quotes, books, family, events - all of the things that we used to nerd out about and then put on our websites.

I've failed at YC applications three times. And I know I'm completely missing the day-to-day stuff of the most creative community on the planet. But all that is fine by me.
I miss PG more. There was this hope in him that there is someone who understands the correlation between the riskiest larval start-ups, investor appetite and home runs. There was this hope that my seemingly dumb ideas had a chance, however small, of making it big when someone like PG gave me a starting gun.
That would not work out well today...
Edit: There's also an older version of the Rice and Beans recipe from "Ramen Profitable":

Edit 2: I'm curious what this is meant to be a list of: http://bugbear.com/sludge.html
Is listed as being given in 2002.
I guess now we tweet or fbook these things.
Careful, pg, it expires in November of this year!
