Yesterday was my 27th birthday. Instead of the usual dinner, I spent the morning in VIM (btw) shipping the waitlist for Squad In Sync.
The context: I was trying to plan my own birthday and NYE with my friends. Within 48 hours, the WhatsApp thread was 400+ messages deep. The flight info was buried, the restaurant link was lost, and half the group was in "decision paralysis" because they couldn't see the full plan.
We weren't accepted into Y Combinator with our ProblemHunt. But I know a guy who got accepted this time. And he made 11 attempts. We'll try to do that too.
