To those who think this list will help them get into YC, or lament "why didn't I get into YC when my idea was squarely on this list":

The YC application is a sales pitch, and you're not selling your idea, you're primarily selling your charisma and capacity to spin vision and sell. Second, you're selling your chemistry with your cofounders and stability of your relationship. Third, you're selling your capacity to build, at least some usable prototype, but this a low bar.

At no point are you actually selling the concrete idea, unless you're doing something extremely specific that seems valuable and you're one of the few who can build it. For the rest, the idea is a rhetorical vehicle to sell the other things.

How does the cabin pressure hold it in place passively? Isn't the pressure on the inside higher than the pressure on the outside?

`xclip-mode` looks like it should definitely be included by default. `cua-mode` is tougher because it messes with the default keybindings, making you type C-x twice (or Shift-C-x) for the large number of keybindings that start with C-x. That might be better for newcomers though, and bring more people to Emacs. Personally I would disable `cua-mode` if it were default.

Probably not. It looks like an autocomplete engine. But technically you can do that with an LLM, with a more complex interface. You could select a region and then input a prompt "rewrite this code in xyz way". And a yet more complex system to split the GPT output across files, etc.

You seem to be unaware of the mental and physical health toll these environments can take on people. Make money but become a burnt out, desiccated shell of a person.

I think they mean making people's lives miserable enough that they quit. Presumably they can live with whatever Amazon throws at them, and keep taking a paycheck until fired.

Anthropic made $200M in 2023 and projected to make $1B in 2024. That's a laggard <2 year old startup. I don't think LLMs are a fad.
