| I came here from your other thread. I was looking at your submissions in case you had a Show HN of your product and you have only this one. I'll comment here mentioning the other thread as opposed to the opposite, not to draw people from there to this one. I would have said what I wanted to say in private had you put an email address, not to give this kind of remarks in public, but your account has only two posts, so I might as well treat it like a disposable/throwaway account because you can. >Also - I didn't type in this tone to them; I'm just very very very upset rn - because I REALLY REALLY wanted to get in, and I was badly let down. I think you need to get your act together, control your temper, and put an end to wallowing in self-pity. The world doesn't owe you anything. You were not let down; that would imply that you entrusted someone with something you had power on and they dropped the ball. You just did not get something you wanted, that someone else is free to grant or deny anyone they want (i.e: the resources are theirs to give or withhold), and now you're acting in an inappropriate way. Inappropriate both in terms of decorum and from a purely optimization standpoint: if people didn't want to let you in before, they really will not let you in now. Your behavior makes people more certain about their decision. You're cracking at the first slight; the trail ahead is much more difficult than merely getting into YC or getting the few dollars they grant for equity. Would you want to work with someone acting that way? Do something proactive. Show your product around. Ask for feedback. Get customers, generate revenue. Share what you're trying, what worked and what did not. Share your desired state and your current state and what you think the problem is and how you tried to solve it. Come on, get back on the saddle. |
