Are GitHub stars important for YC applications?
Hello PH
We applied to Y Combinator few days ago and we ve had a few spikes in GitHub stars after sharing our open-source project with dev communities.
But we re wondering: how important are GitHub stars when applying to YC?
Also curious to hear from fellow open-source builders:
Would you hire a VibeCoder to work on your product?
I've been pretty impressed at the amount of products people (including myself) have been able to create which got me curious... do vibe coders or AI-primary builders have a place in a company or team?
My thinking is the more technically adept would work on the core-focus while vibecoders can assist with other tasks that shouldn't be the main devs focus...like a potential feature add, minor changes, or even exploring different ways of modifying the existing product.
I'm curious what you all think, would you hire a vibe coder?
