Ah, what assholes. I may yet have to write that piece about Jessica Livingston -- you know, the sole female co-founder of Y Combinator. (I keep hesitating to write it because I am concerned about it being seen as gossip and as saying not nice things about people. Oh, ha ha. Compared to tripe like this, it would likely amount to ass kissing.)<p>The piece that everyone seems to fucking miss is that Jessica Livingston and Paul Graham were the original two and he soon brought on his previous cofounders from Via Web. So, really, a woman is about one half of the success story here. And everyone just ignores that while they bitch endlessly about sexism.<p>I will just leave this here for now:<p><a href="http://paulgraham.com/jessica.html" rel="nofollow">http://paulgraham.com/jessica.html</a><p>Can we talk about something else for a change? I am really tired of this old saw. My mother used to say "When you point fingers, three more are pointing back at you." I would like to know what constructive thing this article, its author and the publication it is in are doing to actually fix this while closing their piece with <i>Silicon Valley is a remarkable place. But it is time for the boy’s club to grow up.</i><p>You first, dumb ass.<p>(So I did go ahead and clean up that draft about Jessica and posted it here: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14102279" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14102279</a>)
