This guy has also been generous, and incredibly wrong, about other leaders too. Go look at his glazing posts of someone throughout Q3/Q4 of 2024, especially on Nov 3rd.

He didn’t pick “public service” because when an administration didn’t match his political preferences he bashed that admin in this post. That’s not a public servant but a partisan servant.

This post feels like it should be on linkedin. Have we reached the point of LinkedIn-ify'ing HN?

Curb your enthusiasm had a good segment of episodes that were a parody on Netflix and how they shifted hiring from merit to other criteria.

PG should return and go 'founder mode' on YC and clean house.

I would argue that being a great operator (what he derides as manager mode) requires setting clear outputs and expectations from who you are delegating to. If your company turns to hell because you've delegated too hands off, that's a sign you aren't skilled enough at delegating. He calls this "founder mode" but this can be done by any highly skilled manager/operator.

Go in peace. Through your writing you've made a positive impact on me, and I'm sure others in your time here. That's all any of us ever hope to do. Go in peace.

This comment scares me that YC is desperate for applications now after burning through so many early stage founders for years. Has YC peaked?

I love a lot of what YC has done but their application process is fundamentally broken and has been for years. It appears to just be a just a factory and numbers game now, all clinging to previous successes from when PG and Jessica used to run things.

Paulg taking a victory lap in really odd fashion: telling a couple of kids what he wanted them to build, saying he predicted ordering fast food on your cellphones was a bad idea and still can’t be done today (DoorDash?). This whole write-up seems off.

Great insight overall - can you describe more on the FB/IG/TT to Shopify connection not working or now dead?

I’ve done both and found Sales Eng (also called Solutions Eng) aligns more to my own interests.

This is the first comment I’ve favorited on HN in almost 15 years. I know too many people that deserve the hope you describe. Thank you.
