Voting for Pinboard feels like a protest vote. Naturally, I voted for Pinboard.
You will not regret it.

#22How many can we vote for? I voted for 3 of them total (voting as I was reading through), but now I wonder whether only the first one will count.
Vote for all applications you approve of ("approval voting"). The only wasted ballots are no votes and all votes.

#23I want Maciej to grow Pinboard so he can stop paying any attention to it and just write about his travels full-time.

#25I disagree with some of the other commenters about the nature of Mr. Ceglowski's candidacy. I do not think it is a protest vote. I voted for him, and I cannot imagine what I would protest -- I've loved PG's essays and read Hacker News for years.
I think the corporate-BS-avoiding, efficient and useful product built, not on design, but on a valuable service which successfully competed against mega-corp offerings is the core of what YC has been about since the start. It's not about rapidly increasing headcount. It's about _delivery_. And I think it's clear who leads the pack in that regard.

I saw the statement I had quoted as an appeal to emotion so didn't feel bad posting my gut reaction to it.

You had quoted my "spirit of Apply HN" comment. That wasn't an emotional appeal.

#30AutoMicroFarm will be really amazing, if it works. It is definitely worth funding.
