New comment by badcede in "YC’s $500k Standard Deal"

badcede — Mon, 10 Jan 2022 18:08:27 +0000

I love the comments saying that giving $500k instead of $125k will make things worse. Clearly YC should have made things better instead, by giving less!

Why stop there though? If YC really cared about founders, they'd give them nothing. Better yet, make them pay - now that would have been helpful! But no. Clearly YC doesn't care about founders.

YC really ought to stop making things worse for founders like this. I mean how dare they.

When I read articles like this, it seems to me that they are studying not evolution, nor animals, but computers.

These are really software projects. It is a chunk of the world that software has eaten, without it having much been recognized.

The truth is that the "best ones" are often obsessed with their work and endure painful tradeoffs in their lives, for example their family lives, because of it.

People who do great work tend to think about their work all the time. No one thinks about their fourth priority all the time.

The argument isn't primarily a quantitative one. It's asking what it says about the so-called life sciences that they are based on torturing living beings.

You can say that again. This place and others would be unrecognizable.
