Shameless plug, if you can't sleep, come and drink the cool-aid and chat with other applicants: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1859162

You guys are really sleeping at night? :) Best time to work. Otherwise don't worry, be happy about being a pirate. You will eventually meet your angel either from YC or somewhere else :)

It's definitely not a deal breaker so you probably can get some sleep :)

Haha, not being able to sleep/working at night is a birth defect in my case.. Not because of the YC application, lol :)

I am getting goose bumps all over again. For me it's just like waiting for the graduate school admission results all over again :)

Stop worrying. Write code.

Don't forget the marketing. If you don't do it, nobody is going to do it for you. Today is not too early to start.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Just over the top of my head over the last 16 years I must have written a million lines of code but have sold nothing.

Gotta crack this nut !!

I included that in my random thoughts on the YC application. There's no question about how are you going to market your software and I thought there should be.

Each new line of code you write, will cost you 10 times more in maintenance over time.

Try to remove some lines of code instead ;)

Going to sleep nervous and anxious like Christmas Eve when we were young.

Yea except unlike Christmas most of us won't be getting a gift tomorrow, or I guess a very, very, disappointing one.

People are sleeping?

power napping in order to attempt to stay focused and productive at work while waiting

LOL...this thread is HILARIOUS.

That's EXACTLY how I feel. Stomach in knots.

Tell me about it!
