YC is at our best when backing founders with an ethos of building for others, including strong open source developers like the founders of Continue and many others. Earlier this week, a startup in the current batch, PearAI, was criticized online for an inappropriate approach to open source, particularly in how it approached forking Continue. Out of instinct to defend YC companies, I supported PearAI without knowing all the facts.

I was recently interviewed by ASBN , an online "television network" serving the small business community, about how smart leaders need to hire team members that are smarter than themselves. As you will learn, you never want to be the smartest person in the room. I thought this video turned out great, and I wanted to share it with all of you to make sure you helping to take your recruiting and management game to the next level.

John Tukey, coiner of the word ‘bit’ to describe a single switch of digital micro-data made this provocative statement. Tukey was a statistician; one you would expect to describe events in terms reeking with precision. Where’s the precision in that? Instead, Tukey of asking for precision as we’d expect, he implored us to think in terms of relevancy, cause and comparisons to known events.
