I didn't realize Garry was so crypto-y. Now as the President and CEO of YC where everyone constantly says "Make something people want", "Solve a real problem", I'm curious for him …

Congrats, Garry! Seems appropriate to start to unblock founders on Twitter?

In the main thread on Hacker News, you still haven't addressed any of the issues raised by developers on closing down the free tier. What alternatives did you consider? What stats?…

I hate the corporate speak of 'Next Chapter', 'Public Roadmap' - just be direct and confident enough to say upfront that you are removing the free tier, instead of hiding it in the…

If there was fair taxation on billionaires, and there was a wage growth where all the productivity gains didn't only stay at the top, then I think folks would be less incensed at b…

Maybe the letter last week was more right than it was wrong.. they only forgot to include Brian in the list himself.

Um, just a month ago, in the earnings call, he reiterated continuing to grow and invest. For those following the markets and economy closely (like any public company CEO should), l…

Amazing that he keeps making it past reference checks..

FWIW, Surojit the CPO has a long colorful history of being a horrible person to work with. Just in the last couple of months, I think Blind had atleast a few threads on him. Here a…

The initial petition alleged problems at exec level. Brian's response confirmed it. And he wonders why the employees wouldn't bring this up internally.. Aside from the fact that hi…

I'm not sure what feels more problematic, the framing of the initial thread or the last patch tweet which doesn't even acknowledge Kristen's claim and doesn't name them while tryin…

Just to add to appsec112's point, while I did frame my original point as a 'perception', I'm willing to take a bet that if you put together US companies stats, I would be more righ…

As a response to both dang and emmett, I'm honestly surprised by the strong defensive nature of both your responses. It's what I'd expect from old-school VCs, not YC. Both appsec11…

> A big part of what YC is about is to be a bridge for everybody else to enter this space—no matter who they are or where they live or what demographic they belong to. YC has a lon…

This is so great! Has anyone put out a good variable Serif font that is taking advantage of all the variables?

The SAAS thing is real. In my own broader network, I've seen so many interesting new consumer companies not even get an interview but SAAS companies of all stripes not have a probl…

It is amazing to me if that the entire conversation on the thread is about her credibility, and not at all towards the systems that lead to blogposts such as these. It isn't one in…

I think it isn't just as simple as wanting to fund black founders. If you do not understand how systems work and actively fix them, you are unlikely to be helpful to black founders…

> . Your experience cannot be worse than "received no money" when it comes to raising money. It is a binary outcome. Oh, but it can. That's kinda one of the points. > Or that they …

This is where intersectionality comes in. Her experience is especially worse because she is Black woman AND because she doesn't have an Ivy league degree AND she doesn't have a FAA…

Agreed. What is frustrating about these investors (and YC) is that it all is very surface level. I'm sure they believe they are doing the right thing but all of their assumptions, …

@areoform I wholeheartedly echo this! Thank you!

I can see that naming those who didn't even respond could be more appropriate. My takeaway is that you feel let down the most by those who have the most talk, hence higher expectat…

Both, thanks for clarifying!

thank you!
