29% of startups YC funded my first stint at YC (2011 to 2015) still running are default alive and profitable.

Block/mute the clout farmers. They truly know nothing about making something people want.

Midjourney’s output to the same prompt—“Barack Obama and Donald Trump playing basketball”—from 12 months ago vs. today.
