Definitely not a good look for YC.

YC sells lottery tickets, not an understanding and acceptance that the lottery ticket is more luck than skill. That’s what friends, loved ones, and a therapist are for. I highly recommend the latter.

Enjoy the experience for having attempted, but don’t feel bad if you fail. Most do, you’re optimizing for the journey. Don’t let it ruin you, there are more chapters to be had.

I was talking about how their rejection of this post is a bad look for YC, not about how their lack of support for the entrepreneur is a bad look.
