Bullshit. As a YC alumni I can say this will have a huge positive impact on productivity.
Before: "should I raise now? I'm supposed to wait for demo day but XYZ is doing it, maybe I should just raise a little to be sure? I'll just get 2 intros and that's it, promise."
After: code code code code.
This is YC making sure their startups don't forget what matters: the product. Great move.
Thanks for the perspective, shykes. As someone who just writes about what happens in tech, clearly I don't know what the feeling is like of actually being inside of YC. These are just questions that come to mind.
