On: Why I turned down my Y Combinator interview

[foldr]

Requiring "native fluency" could be interpreted as requiring the candidate to be a native English speaker, which would obviously be discriminatory. That's probably not the intent, but it's a bad choice of wording.

If they mean "as fluent in English as a native speaker", then that's arguably much too high a standard.

One wonders about the "fluency" of whoever wrote that requirement...

English was always my worst subject. :)

Ha! If you decide to change it, I would just drop the "native". (IANAL)
