Author is not wrong.
This “YC is actually a negative signal” sentiment started back in 2018-2019.
The “actual” good entrepreneurs (e.g., the folks you expect from Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley) stopped applying to YC a while back.
There are different signaling mechanisms in 2024, which I won’t reveal here, because the “plebs” will turn it into shit, just like they did to YC, leetcode interviews, and FANG ML jobs.
