I can't imagine what it would have felt like for those guys. I'm wondering, was it an interview for the following two as well but they didn't get selected?

From what I've read elsewhere, sometimes they decide and tell you on the spot, other times you won't hear back for maybe a day or two. Personally, I wasn't feeling it for that 2nd interview group, but the 3rd guy with the customs brokerage business. I want a piece of that action :) That seems like a big money maker. My money is on him getting in.

And as pg said in the interview with Mark Zuckerberg, when he talks to people, he always has a process running somewhere in his mind that judges them as he would do in an interview and might shout at any moment "accept him, accept him!". Probably that's what happened :)

I didn't watch the stream but wait... Qatar and Luxemburg are not the most technologically advanced, but Japan and Finland are not the richest countries. I don't think the country you're talking about exists.

Hey guys come back for a sec. You didn't know it, but that was your y-combinator interview.... you're in the next batch. -- pg to the codecombat team

George from the CodeCombat team here. It was a crazy experience. Nick and I were leaving the stage, I was thinking "okay, that went okay, hope we get an interview!" When they called us back I thought we had biffed a mic transfer to the next team. When we heard we were in this next batch, I couldn't even believe it. Nick and I managed to keep it relatively cool on stage but we got a little silly back stage. Still can'…

That was a great moment -- worth the price of admission, as it were. Don't skimp on the robots, though, seriously. Robots are good.

Is this stream being recorded? Can we watch it on a later moment, when we shouldn't be asleep or is this thrown into the ether once and that's it?

Yes, don't worry, we'll post videos of each talk.

great rough ETA? thanks!

You could argue how you measure it. US has the most worth clearly. On a per person level tiny Luxemburg might have higher rate but clearly not the power the US has/
