I watched the video, but then read further down.<p>"We even wrote a little app to continuously flash a list of potential YC partners’ questions every 10 seconds, training our brains to not go too long-winded with our responses."<p>Was that the publicly available app? That was you guys? I used that app. It was really helpful for me. My Google skills are not working for me today as I fight off this flu+NyQuil induced hazed. If anyone has that link and can post, you'd be doing many people a favor.
Great story! I seem to recall a university sending out acceptance letters by mistake. At least this mistake had the happier ending.<p>Measure twice, cut once.
I never knew how hard people prepared for the interview. Great resource for that.<p>The headline is a bit misleading though because it implies they aren't in YC now. If not for the the interview-prep part the entire story could be TL;DR-ed into "We got into YC, someone accidentally sent a scary email"
