Because it's a stupid question, you never ask someone his plans for the next 10 years.

YC and Sam Altman do.

Sounds more like a "let's see how their mind works" rather than a question of serious intent.

Doh, that's ironic. Did Sam apply to YC too? Did he answer: "I plan to flip this company in a year or so and become one of you"?

I did apply to and do YC, and then I ran that company for 7 years. Had it been going better I would have been happy to run it for 3 more!
