       | (https://twitter.com/danielgross/status/1382348690606616581), I
       | did some more digging and found that the non-linear story was
       | pretty consistent. Most "successful" founders today, felt just as
       | lost as the rest of us.
       | 
       | BTW, my process for finding them was pretty simple:
       | 
       | 1. Started with top YC startups
       | 
       | 2. Hunted down their HN launches (first instance of the URL)
       | 
       | 3. Browsed the founder's posting history
       | 
       | I'm sure there are many other examples of this.
