I really love YCs content but this to me just kinda sounds like the message is to not be in school, don’t work a job, and the younger you do this the more likely you are to succeed. When the statistics for entrepreneurs really says the opposite. Maybe I missed the message here but that’s what I’m getting
According to your logic, if I have a family with kids, then I can't succeed as a startup founder, since there may be other teams without such commitments.
Thanks for the insightful conversation! I just need more clarification on the ideas that seems to be good but they can be taken away by gpt-5. I have a lot of ideas for gen-ai projects but the thing is that are they good enough to stand for the next era. honestly i think it is a marathon of innovation, when gpt-5 unleashes, we jump to new products now the question is do we abandon those we had?
