Actually these are listings from y-combinator alumni. That's cool.

I for one am indifferent. We all use and love the service, so they are welcome to make money from it.

I agree with your point on #2. A github or stack overflow profile is a great measure for graduates, but not as a general filter for experienced professionals.

So, don't set goals because you won't achieve them, but over-commit to stretch yourself. There's a contradiction in there.

I agree with all of these points, and I completely agree that it's not unique to the software industry. Much to our surprise, we're human after all.

Let's not jump to conclusions...

I'm also looking into porting it (probably to c++)
