YCombinator is just like college now. Its all about getting in and not about what you're supposed to do when you're there.

lame.

fitting fate for the CEO, Mark Pincus, whose been quoted as saying he "doesn't want to fucking innovate. You're not smarter than your competitor. Just copy what they do and do it until you get their numbers."

"There is little value in most FB posts that are years old. As opposed to wikipedia which is a gradually building blob of knowledge."

actually never thought of it so simply like this, thanks for that,

say what you will about the post, but that new FB commercial is an embarassing joke
Re:Apple's tribute to Steve Jobs, one year on. on Friday October 05, 2012 @01:20PM (#4617745)
this makes me sad

(and that i'm the first one to use the word "sad" in this thread makes me even more sad)

cmon dont be patronizing, point is D'Angelo can float this thing as long as he wants
is your point that given the expectations, growing at the level of 100,000s users isn't good for Quora? cause most sites would be happy with that performance
Is Quora really struggling? My posting there is getting more and more engagement all the time (more importantly, this compete.com profile looks quite promising: http://siteanalytics.compete.com/quora.com/)

Also, how much does running Quora actually cost? If Adam D'Angelo has many Billions of dollars, I can't see them ever having a financial issue.

@markdotto, thank you for your response @chiefinstigator's comments. Great to hear your perspective. I don't think you needed to be on the defensive as much as you are. All one needs to do is look at the Bootstrap Github page: all your code, its documentation, issue tracking, the sheer number of commits, etc. to know that you and Jacob worked your absolute fucking assess off with/for an absolute fucking shit ton of developers over the last few years. I understand both the ZURB and Bootstrap teams' feelings are raw considering how much time you all put in, and I'm just writing to hope that things will smooth over as time goes on. Both groups contributed so much to the web community for them not to. Again, great work guys, you've changed the world for the better.
Re:Bootstrap Maintainers Leave Twitter on Saturday September 29, 2012 @05:59AM (#4589180)
@chiefinstigator, thanks for this backstory and huge respect to the ZURB Foundation team. My only complaint is that I think you could made your point better without digging at Mark.

Re:Startup = Growth on Friday September 21, 2012 @11:36PM (#4557048)
more blah, blah on what made google, fb, etc. great,

what's the point?

Dick Costolo/Twitter is siding with REAL businesses with REAL money (e.g., going on NBC's Today show to advertise new iPad app).

Linkedin is vaporware with no revenue.

I'm so sick of the continuing Peter Thiel hypefest. I don't like college either but his 20 for 20 program is just some ridiculous bullshit.

Re:Parse Lets You Run Custom Code For Your Mobile Apps on Tuesday September 11, 2012 @02:20PM (#4506946)
why is "YC's Parse" and just not "Parse"?
YC is billed like the yankees, but singles more likely, how did the Seattle Mariners do with Ichiro all these years?
Re:Y Combinator Founder Paul Graham Issues New Warning to Start-ups on Thursday September 06, 2012 @10:15PM (#4487384)
@wamatt, agree regardless of the "why" PG's email feels petty, YCombinator and its way too many startups are jumping the shark
