But HN is still partying like it's 1999...
Couldn't he offer a 1/4 day for a HN revamp?

#23> Tan/AI built the website so that when a user visits, their browser makes 169 server requests for various assets totaling 6.42 megabytes in size. For comparison, the minimalist Hacker News homepage (also run by Y Combinator) makes seven requests for data totaling just 12 kilobytes.
Lisp failed in the previous AI winter because it was so damn efficient, when the C-suite just likes big stupid numbers. Tell Garry Tan you have a tool that generates 2 million lines of code per day and he'll probably give you a billion dollars on the spot.
(I hope one day he sets out to vibecode Hacker News 2.0 and he'll have to convince our mods to switch over. Oh, that would be so funny.)

#24These statements inherently damage YC’s reputation because either (a) Garry has incredibly poor judgement, which affects the companies chosen and mentored; (b) He is just BSing and knows it, which means YC is not trustable; (c) He is correct, then WHAT ARE ALL THE COMPANIES FOR?
