    Basically he is arguing; successful people were merely Lucky”. I disagree! There are people who have multiple unicorns. (Jason Cohen).

    I agree that YC is optimising their slave labour. Where I disagree is “ YC wants you to pick an idea that has market pull (or the potential for it), and to then dig a hole in the same spot until you reach the boiling magma”.
    I insist this is the best way to find a gem. By hammering on a problem consistently from various angles.
