Comment on Ask HN: Is Y Combinator's office empty?

Comments

Y Combinator doesn't have any real people, actually; it's entirely managed by a crusty IBM mainframe upgraded until it can run an artificially-intelligent software stack written in Node.js and Ruby and segregated into Docker containers for each "employee". If you telnet into one of their servers on port 1337, you'll be greeted with a flurry of compiled-to-Javascript Haskell interrupted periodically with rants about how Silicon Valley is the Promised Land and that anyone not living in Silicon Valley is a loser.

;)

Well, we're coming out of state for networking and wanted to check with YCombinator , maybe they can recommend an adviser.
