I read it the same way. Perhaps simply changing it to `YCombinator Office Hours...` would be enough to guide the reader to the right meaning? Or `YC Open Office Hours...`?

How to find a lisp programmer in the wild. They use cons in casual conversation. :)
shouldn't this be titled "Climate Crisis"?
Conserve land, one acre at a time.

FFS. The apotheosis of disaster capitalism. Fiddling while Rome burns while demanding a hefty appearance fee.
