Its important to note that YC isnt "at fault," or "did something wrong." They did what they thought was best, and that decision drove Jon down a different path. The end result (at least at this point) is net-net positive for both. Being in

Not being a coder, I would guess that my definition would be all over the place. :) I guess the best way to describe a Hacker (as I define it) is a builder. Someone who finds unique ways to solve problems and then builds the solution. For e
