Insightful article that would have benefited from a less sensationalist headline. "Hacking the Y Combinator Application Process" makes a promise that you fail to deliver on.
To be fair, I said "How We..." Did it. Also, I made sure to clarify the point of the post with the beginning disclaimer.
Apologies if you felt mislead. LMK a better title and ill change it. Also, I hope there's plenty of stuff in there that demonstrates how to write a good application.
Re: Article Title
Suggestion: "Why YC Made Sense for Our Business and How We Got In" or "How I Was Almost Eaten by a Shark (or something equally absurd), but Got into YC Combinator Anyway"
Humor may really help the article to gain acceptance and readership.
