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.

Each new line of code you write, will cost you 10 times more in maintenance over time.

Try to remove some lines of code instead ;)

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 :)

It's definitely not a deal breaker so you probably can get some sleep :)

Haha, not being able to sleep/working at night is a birth defect in my case.. Not because of the YC application, lol :)
