Settle a bet for me, YC partners.<p>A long time ago, Paul Graham suggested that one of the things YC looked at in applications was the applicant&#x27;s comment history.<p>I thought that was a weird thing to say then, but it sounds even crazier today, knowing how many more applications YC gets, how much bigger the batches are, and how little time you have to review each application.<p>I bet Felix Gallo on Twitter that YC no longer looks at HN comment histories. Hasn&#x27;t in awhile. Nobody has time. There&#x27;s no easy productive way to evaluate them anyways.<p>I lose the bet if a YC partner chimes in and says that comment histories are (still) part of how YC considers applications. But if a YC partner settles the bet either way, I&#x27;ll pay up; the money goes to Partners in Health.
Ask HN: Does YC Still Look at Applicant Comment Histories?
