Yeah I agree with Rick. In the information age, it's not really smart to be a car salesman of the startup world; especially when the number of new engineers is consecutively getting smaller every year in the US. It's a lot better to build reputation, credibility, and trust for the long term.

This is one of the main things that attracted me to Ycombinator (and probably every other hacker)...

I guess I can add Rick to my list
