I've racked up 3000+ miles riding up and down the hills in SF (530 vertical feet over 3.7 miles). 4 falls, 1 going too fast downhill and overcharging the battery (dislocated shoulder), 1 crossing tracks perpendicular slowly, and twice

Is there a reason this is published under your domain and not YC? Just wondering because it sounds like this is the collective wisdom of all the partners (even if you're the one that wrote it).

So in short, "talk what you write" might be better advice than "write like you talk".

I do a lot of hackathons. My record is 4/26 for winning 1st, 16/26 for winning 1 or more prizes, mentored 3 times and judged once. Do it on a weekend, have interesting sponsors with prizes, and make the judging/presentation c

This is why I love my Boosted Board do much (well, among other reasons). I can just pick it up and carry it inside once I reach my destination. http://boostedboards.com

Plans like this sound cool, but I think it would be helpful to make a visualization so people could see how the payouts change for different exits, thresholds and % redistributed. Visualizations are an easy way to reduce uncertainty so peop

Shoutout for Ampersand.js which was mentioned in the article. The modularity is really nice for keeping things flexible so I can swap out parts as our app evolves. http://ampersandjs.com

I haven't had much luck finding the right cofounder despite meeting thousands of people over the past few years so clearly there's a problem. A few months ago I decided that the problem was probably me since I'm far from perf

I channel some of my motivation into cultivating discipline. I also apply discipline to periodically remotivate myself. In practice this means I'll do a hackathon to build something I want, while limiting myself to using one new techno

Edge cases, I love exploring edge cases and even better, the intersection of edge cases (corner cases?). The more edge cases there are, the more interesting something is and sometimes they lead to discovering entire new spaces. I consider m

There's an opportunity to outsource mental models to software in a similar way to how we've outsourced basic math to calculators and basic facts to search engines. A benefit to a digital mental model is that it could be updated ba

If you like backbone, definitely check out http://ampersandjs.com . They've taken backbone and split it into separate modules with some nice upgrades.

4 years in the company, 10 months on this product. It absolutely looks like a "bad idea", but all its deficiencies can be compensated and its strengths are unmatched.

Applying to YC is a straightforward decision every time: 1. YC would definitely be helpful and worth the equity. 2. The application process is a helpful reality check for the status of my startup regardless of outcome. 3. I still believe we

7th rejection, doesn't even phase me anymore. :P For those with less experience, the disappointment will pass. Take a day if you need to reflect on what you're doing, why you're doing it and how you could do it better. Reject
