> I graduated from YCombinator a few months ago ( S12 Easel ).
Anyone else bothered by this view of YCombinator as a kind of university programme?
I may be wrong, I have only met a few YC founders and they all seemed like nice, smart people, but it seems a bit off-colour to treat the mere fact that you've been through the YC programme as some kind of "graduation".
Maybe I'm just being grumpy or something... It's certainly not a big deal... but something just rubs me wrong when I read that sentence...
I think it's meant to be a training program that you graduate. Military guys will tell you when they graduated A-school or what ever is applicable. Welders graduate from vocational school. "Graduation" is applicable for any training program, not just university.
