Anything medical becomes a licensing nightmare. With how expensive power wheelchairs get I’m shocked they don’t come with a flight box.


Could be an organization issue, when I think of a Nintendo Switch it should be organized under Bh not Gh. Especially with an emulator which doesn’t get updates from Nintendo.


The type of engagement and audience arguably matters more.


Seems like a card to remind people to be careful when developing systems.


Seems like YC should pair more of these smaller companies together, I honestly don’t know if that would help or not. Most YC funded projects aren’t really profitable to begin with.

It’s like somewhere in between getting grant funding for a university project and real corporate work.


I mean, this was precisely PG's genius - taking the right set of unwashed nerds, pairing them up appropriately and then mentoring the end result. That model gave birth to Reddit and Auctomatic.

I don't get it either - why spend $2m on 4 YC companies under different group partners, creating a hunger games of sorts, instead of convincing all of them to combine their talent for $500k. Sure, egos will be bruised and they might fight over who's boss, but the chances of the final product succeeding would be much higher.


Not enough people give credit to PG or PT for their genius in disrupting markets and making the world overall a happier, better place.


Terrifying, always afraid to touch unlicensed code. Tried to give most of my public code extremely open licenses because I’d assume some guy crawling the internet for a piece of code probably has enough stress in his life.


Always thought legacy admissions were kind of off.


Another advantage of web components is the syntax is similar enough to Java (especially with JavaDocs) switching between coding a Java spring backend and a Web component based front end is doesn’t need as much of a mental context switch.


If you use web components enough you realize why tools like useState exists then you have to bring in another library like alpine to offer the functionality.

The whole point of web components is the ability to offer class encapsulation within the browser without anything other than a file server.

JSX has much nicer syntax but I’d rather not have to deal with the overhead of launching a node server. Makes developing time quicker when working with smaller codebases.


Crazy people take any advice from people without citing the exact legal clause.


Then you must find it very frustrating to actually receive legal advice, because it is often more complicated than that and there sometimes is no such clause!
