It seems disappointing that YC's value is no longer qualitatively good advice for early-stage founders and a close-knit community of hackers.
Maybe I'm just jaded, but it appears increasingly corporatized every year. Sometimes it feels like YC might as well be a certificate — just a stamp of approval that provides access to a network of investors and clout. (I'd love to be wrong on this).
