I would just like to say that when PG announced he was handing over YC to sama I was a bit nervous. Not because I didn't have faith in sama, but because handing over the reins hardly ever goes according to how the departing CEO/President/founder says it will go.
I must say Sama...I am truly impressed. I honestly wasn't sure how much better YC could have become when PG stepped down, but looking back...just from the outside looking in...it seems to have gotten at least 5X better if not more.
So keep up the good work you (guys) do. I suspect though that it is also testament to the team you have around you as well.
PG used to say you were one of the smartest people he knows, but many people are smart. It is quite a different thing to be effective and you have been remarkably effective at doubling down and significantly improving the value that YC truly creates.
It is wonderful to witness, as much as watching Musk do his thing.
