@kirakira I mean the people behind it are same sort billionaire tech ghouls that are behind any venture capital firm, they're all pretty evil. Which one is behind a particular company is pretty irrelevant at an employee level, it's really only if you're founding a company that you gotta worry about the particulars of which beast you're bound to

@kirakira YC is really big on marketing the strength of their network, like oh invest with us and we'll hook you up with advice and sweet deals from all the other places we invested in, and we'll give you preferential placement on Hacker News. I think this only really works out if someone at YC takes a particular shine to your company though - they invest in something like 400+ companies every year so more likely than not when you call them they're going to be like "who? oh yeah..." Their model is built around expecting the vast majority of their investments to fail; they only give you 100k and ask for a whole-ass percentage point of your company. If you crash out they don't lose that much and if you do well they get a really sweet deal.

@kirakira I worked at a YC-backed startup for a little over a year, as I recall they did jack shit for us during that time. The company is still around and doing pretty good but I haven't seen a single mention of them on the Orange Website in the threeish years since then, no job listings or announcements, as far as I know all their big customers that they have now they had to hunt down and land themselves so no help there either. Still listed first on their "investors" page though, mainly for the cred I guess.

Too woke. You don't need to promote degeneracy to make software.

@kirakira@furry.engineerTake the job and don't ever take business/job advice from people on Fedi — for the crowd here no one's robe is ever going to be white enough. The folk here — they'd make you dismiss services from trustworthy companies without blinking an eye and then you find you that they are using Node.js for their personal project or are otherwise dependent on some Google shite.Life is short — enjoy it and go for the lesser evil if you have choice, no one's ever going to appreciate you ruining your life based on some principle no one truly understands 🤷
