I am getting goose bumps all over again. For me it's just like waiting for the graduate school admission results all over again :)

Stop worrying. Write code.

Shameless plug, if you can't sleep, come and drink the cool-aid and chat with other applicants: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1859162

Don't forget the marketing. If you don't do it, nobody is going to do it for you. Today is not too early to start.

Going to sleep nervous and anxious like Christmas Eve when we were young.

Yea except unlike Christmas most of us won't be getting a gift tomorrow, or I guess a very, very, disappointing one.

You guys are really sleeping at night? :) Best time to work. Otherwise don't worry, be happy about being a pirate. You will eventually meet your angel either from YC or somewhere else :)

I couldn't agree with you more.

Just over the top of my head over the last 16 years I must have written a million lines of code but have sold nothing.

Gotta crack this nut !!

Yeah not going to bed tonight. Too much adrenaline pumping to let it go to waste. Easier to just keep working. Good luck everyone!
