I don't think you wrote this comment. I think you typed it into a text box.

RTFA - it's about using tokens to research saving tokens.

Last century, but yes :)

What subtype are you?

If insurance companies add ethics clauses to contracts that refer to this, suddenly it’s very enforceable.

“If we build that we’ll need an insurance waiver.”

“We won’t be able to get cyber insurance if we do that.”

Etc.

It’s high-density ceramic punch cards!

Starting a small company doing a niche product, while easier said than done, provides significant benefits in recapturing your own time.

When the baby won’t let you sleep you can have productive time without it feeling forced, you can take days off when needed, take naps in the middle of the day, etc.

It’s a different kind of stress that can feel healthier.

Also, regular hard exercise and/or martial arts training, particularly BJJ, is de riguer for stress management.

When you get into YC one of the first things they tell you is to develop a regular physical health practice because startups are incredibly difficult.

Safely blow the burnout into the weights and your sparring partners.

I have set extremely clear boundaries on my time and enforced them religiously. This has caused massive problems, including potentially destroying my company. I have simply accepted those problems as the cost of reading my son bedtime stories.

The overtime culture in startups is toxic, because efficient output is u-shaped over time: if you work too hard your productivity goes down. It requires very mature self reflection to know that slowing down will actually speed up the work.

tldr, boundaries boundaries boundaries. Maturity.

We were W22. It was a HUGE batch and we were raising at a large valuation, during the boom, so the YC standard deal didn't make financial sense for us.

IIRC as soon as we signed the deal they would have 10x'd.

Overall, I think not signing was a mistake. But YC is very expensive.

Yesterday the NYSE had a technical issue in its price bounds checking system that caused it to revert approx. 4,341 trades in 251 symbols. The root cause was determined to be a manual error involving the Exchange’s Disaster Recovery configuration at system start of day.
