    @ycombinator Paul says this from his VC point of view, for him it makes only sense to invest into startup working on hard problems only, he makes 100 bets to get 2 winners, the rest just go bust, but as a founder, you gamble with less than 1% chance to win going after hard problems

    @ycombinator Teams that tackle impossible problems develop capabilities that can't be hired. The collective learning becomes an irreplaceable competitive advantage.

    @ycombinator This hits hard! But does it still apply to most YC startups today? A lot of companies in recent cohorts seem more like they're running around than running upstairs.

    @ycombinator this is the best justification I've heard for either going more towards the hardware direction or the very technical ML direction but no where in between the middle ground of npm gluers & next js apps is the most competitive and arguable has already been over saturated

    How does a startup answer the question: couldn’t Google just do this? When is the answer to that question ever truly “they can’t”? It’s a question I get most often from people outside tech/startups. One answer is because they’re just busy making unlimited profit elsewhere. But unless we’re talking about a fundamental breakthrough, if they truly wanted to, surely they could.

    @ycombinator is difficulty measured only in terms of how hard it is to build the product? or is it also measured in terms of how hard it is to capture a certain market? or another factor like you being the sole owner of a patented technology that is used in building that product?

    @ycombinator I respect PG @paulg very much but i think that’s a tricky advice. In theory it’s very correct but in practice i believe the main problem the startup faces can be not hard but the difficulty can be in the solving process and the depth to which you control it.

    @ycombinator Totally agree with this. If you aren't solving hard problems you are 1. not following in the joy, adventure and nature of having a startup and 2. you make the most impact!
