@baseddesigner No worries, there's a lot of us doing things -- I'm just one of the more vocal ❤️

@juxtopposed if it feels like generated straight into your face - def no
if its really good also then yes

I'm 5 weeks into YC, here's my unsolicited opinion:
It honestly feels like college again lol.
Events every night. Parties. Mixers. Office hours. Dinners.
The young founders go to all of them.
This makes sense.
FOMO and peer pressure are real.
But what I've noticed is that the older founders and experienced ones skip almost everything.
They've done this before.
For instance, one of the only events I've gone to so far was one where I got to talk with @rauchg at a Vercel event for over an hour. We went in with a specific business outcome and left with a potential partnership in the works.
Everything else, I've skipped.
Here's my biggest takeaway: YC is a goldmine, but you have to dig for it.
YC is really what you make of it. And if you spend all your time at parties, you'll be left with a dead company.
Every time we get a new opportunity, I ask myself: will this help us move faster?
If yes, go.
If no, I stay home and ship.
Output is 100x more important than showing face.
