Hmmm, both points of view have merit.

IIRC PG/YC fund the team and not a specific idea. If you are on shaky idea, they would want you to persist and figure out a better idea as a team. This is clear to anyone who follows HN. So it does make sense that PG/YC don't like it if the founder(s) quits when something else interesting (like great job offer or another idea) comes along.

And your POV, that it is something you did outside of YC and don't want to share, makes sense too.

I don't know what I would have done if I was in the same situation.
