You know, I've been reading Hacker News for god-knows-how-long, and it never occurred to me to look up what Y Combinator even was.

[fasterik]

You mean this isn't a website for lambda calculus enthusiasts?

[aatd86]

Wait... This is not lambda-the-ultimate?

Where am I?

[grotorea]

Maybe this has something to do with the local opinion on Haskell?

I feel like I used to see a lot more Launch HN, Y Combinator batches, etc. Or maybe I started tuning them out

[SL61]

I've been on here for a decade. Back in the day, HN really gave off a sense that most users were aspiring entrepreneurs, with a lot more discussion about YC, et al.

They moved launches here: https://www.ycombinator.com/launches

[dalbasal]

No... I'm pretty sure he isn't near as interested in yc anymore.

[joshxyz]

thats what i love about hn.

i sometimes think yc is just a front to secure payment for hn servers for many many years.

[colechristensen]

Isn’t it just like… a couple of servers? As in, entirely fundable by one person who could afford the time to moderate.

I landed first on some random PG essay, then I found out about HN and kept reading it for a while and then found out what YC was. This was some years ago, but still quite out of order!

[MiguelX413]

What's a PG essay?

Our Eternal September has arrived.

It’s been here for a while now. (but I’m old, so what do I know?…)

[TheRealSteel]

Same!
