I am nowhere close to founding a startup. Heck, I started learning to code only a year and a half back. Yet as a part of this community (only recently), I can only imagine the anxiety that most of you are going through.<p>I just thought I'll wish everyone who sees this all the best, and remind everyone:<p>"No matter how slow you run, you're still lapping everyone on the couch." - The guy on the couch.
Good luck to all!<p>To those accepted to interviews: congrats!<p>To those that didn't make it to interviews, I wanted to share a great thought from Dustin Curtis (YC W13):<p>"Tomorrow. After my promotion. When I raise money. When the time is right. After I settle things up. When I’m done learning. These phrases appear to be valid reasons for waiting, but they are usually just excuses used to rationalize an easier choice."<p>YC or no YC, go do your idea if you're passionate about it.
