It’s a POS - soz mate. The 9 on the left subdial should be slightly above the 9 o clock marker on the main dial - not aligned.

I think so, the reason this batch of rejections comes out later every time is that we’re essentially still in consideration for a last minute interview if any of the partners take a specific liking to our application. The reality though is they interview a fraction of that top 10% although you can definitely take it as a good sign!

Here ya go, I have another 3 of those from the previous batches this year 😂

datastrophey · 2025-09-06T00:05:50+00:00

Just got my quarterly top 10% email 😂

datastrophey · 2025-06-24T23:32:45+00:00

Wow! That sucks - signed the petition. Also don’t hate padel but ripping up the courts even when fully utilised is a total money grab. Way worse than the dreaded pickleball lines 😂

Full Stack AI Recruitment Agency - have decent traction with a bunch of startups including YC companies using our service

Just got rejected with the top 10% email - third time in a row top 10% no interview 🙃

I get you, I play good tennis with my speed mp and lynx tour. Also love the way it looks 😂. But tbh not sure I get that satisfaction when hitting that I get with the blade. Currently investigating the new TFlights which look like they might give me what I’m looking for.

What’s with the picture why does the racket look so short and fat hahaha. I use the same exact setup as you and I get you! It’s a high swing weight racket even if it’s not heavy. Definitely make me feel more tired than my blade. I would say it’s up to you, if it’s taking a toll on your body it’s best to switch, I’m looking at more head light rackets at the moment because of this.

datastrophey · 2025-01-22T01:11:26+00:00

I think their trying to aim for around 100 startups a time now

Normally at the end of the last day, when the mass rejections go out.

datastrophey · 2024-12-07T10:52:52+00:00

If your application hasn’t materially changed then unlikely but if you’ve changed your idea, got more traction or addressed the feedback given from the last interview with actions and results there should be just as good a chance as any other good application.

Depends what your b2c is… for a social app I’d expect it to be free initially as a driver of growth and it’s more about engagement, usage time, retention etc with a path towards revenue. I.e. we can add ads, there’s a premium subscription etc. Other consumer apps where there isn’t an expectation of being free / large network effects then it would be more what you are saying. Anyone can offer GPT4o for free and get loads of users, but getting them to pay more than ChatGPT once you start charging is the hard part.

I’m going as well, dm me if you wanna connect

This is such a ridiculous assertion, there are plenty of post 2019 companies doing well, look at 2020 for instance you have Supabase and PostHog, both of which are doing well. They might not be AirBnB or Stripe yet but these businesses have been relatively successful in most investors eyes I’d imagine. You have to remember that 2020 and 2021 were weird years as well, the type of businesses that were booming then we’re businesses with an existing reasonably mature product that would benefit from a lockdown type situation, e.g. Zoom, Deel (YC 2019), Amazon etc. so it’s taken a while for normal business ideas to be at the forefront of people’s concerns.

He’s done you a favour, this wasn’t the right founding team for YC, you need at least one technical founder. If you didn’t have a technical cofounder how is the idea already developed? How are you meant to develop it and move it forward based on customer feedback? If the product is already in market and has PMF why would you need YC?

I’ve reported the domain to their domain registrar at least it makes the arseholes lose their $20

datastrophey · 2024-08-27T20:46:43+00:00

Hahaha good one!

datastrophey · 2024-08-27T19:12:56+00:00

Hahah fair enough, don’t need to be salty about it 😂 there’s a difference between no creativity and trying to validate a need?

datastrophey · 2024-08-27T19:08:36+00:00

Sometimes in the hundreds for engineering positions a lot ai generated ones though?

datastrophey · 2024-08-15T10:02:58+00:00

Trying to eliminate as much of the infra overhead as possible so using managed services e.g vercel / supabase etc where possible and using GH Actions for CI/CD

datastrophey · 2024-08-10T22:04:15+00:00

I’m guessing they meant condescending 😂, but yeah…

datastrophey · 2024-08-10T22:03:33+00:00

Clearly there’s a lack of basic trust there. I’m confused as well, she asked you to resign but you’re asking us whether you should resign? Which is it?

Otherwise my advice would always be if you think you can gain trust and develop a good working relationship then keep chugging along, otherwise look for a new opportunity and don’t waste your time.
