This is silly. Sad to see that startups are being thought as some sort of game&#x2F;entertainment. Nobody who is serious about building a company needs to actually go through all this.<p>I cannot imagine YC&#x27;s own employees will go through this process should they start a company of their own. I thought the previous experiment was borderline amusement but this has totally crossed the line.<p>Has YC somehow convinced itself that it&#x27;s all a lottery and there is no point trying to evaluate start ups using normal methods?
