On: Tell HN: Ever think of applying to YC? Do it this weekend for S24

Sorry to hear that experience.

I've come to discount any form of flattery in intro emails. E.g. when a FAANG recruiter emails me "wow, we were impressed by your public project!", I used to believe it.

Now I know it's just a synonym for "join the back of the line of 17,639,838 applicants."

Yeah, if PG takes me out for a steak, I will believe it :-). An email that cost $0.000001 on SES, nah!

$0.000001 plus some credibility
