@seyitaylor@petergyang They’re a great comparison because the bulk of the work is genius and their endings are terrible. Have you read the AoT ending in the manga? By far one of the worst endings ever. GOT probably beats it in that regard

That’s a wrap! Thanks for another incredible demo day @ycombinator. We continue to be inspired by the people and companies in every batch. PS thanks Austen for the @LambdaSchool hat (YC S17) #soundventures
Theory: if the humanities had had a stronger hand in shaping the Internet we either would not have an Internet or a far worse Internet. To err is human, and to truly mess things up you need engineers, but to turn things into a catastrophic mess you need to add the humanists.
