YC couldn't be what it is without Hacker News. It's amazing what a pivotal role it's played in their success, yet its importance goes unnoticed. In my eyes, their greatest achievement to date has been the wealth of information accumulated in this news portal and community behind it.

It occurred to me tonight that apart from the many other things YC gets right, what really makes them shine is HackerNews. I'd even say, YC couldn't have been what it is now without it. In my eyes, their biggest accomplishment is has been the wealth of information aggregated in their news portal.

It didn't really hit me until I stopped by his place. The only sign that something had happened was a paper tapped to a door saying "Party Cancelled". It's a really chocking feeling. I think I went there to know if it was true...to know what happened. As his death becomes more apparent, I don't care what happened. It's a huge loss. Ilya will be missed.
