Ask HN: Why does YC care what tech stack I use?

5•codecracker3001•6mo ago
Are they gonna reject if I use angular over react?

Edit 1: What are they actually looking for?

Comments

PaulHoule•6mo ago
No.
quantdev1•6mo ago
Is this related to getting a job at a YC-backed org, or getting funded?
sama004•6mo ago
he's asking about getting funded
codecracker3001•6mo ago
getting funded. its a question on the application
muzani•6mo ago
In interviews, I do care, but more on why you're using this stack. If you know only one stack and use that for everything, that's pretty bad. If you're thinking, "Hey let's use JS/Kotlin on every part of the stack," that hints at a fear of learning new stacks as well.

By ten years of experience, you should probably have used all the major tech stacks in your area of expertise. If you're BE, probably Go, Node, Rails, Django, Spring, maybe even PHP. If mobile you should be able to use native, capacitor, PWA, Flutter, React Native, maybe KMP. And so on.

It's sometimes a bonus if you're using something someone has never heard of. Y Combinator is named after a Lisp thing. PG was using Lisp as a hack while everyone else was using C and he credits it for his rapid development speed. Many tools are just built for teams of > 3, and lose the advantage of having a solo dev.

If you're competing with Google's AI team and you use something generic, then... you're probably not going to make it. If you're building something that doesn't require a lot of technical expertise, they might still want to suss out that you know the difference between JavaScript and Java.

codecracker3001•6mo ago
Interesting, we're building a Vision based AI product so I wrote a super comprehensive list for what AI models + the software stack I think we should be using. Its different than what we're actually using because I made that list with the funding and talent in mind and sort of a 3 year tech stack than a 3 month tech stack.

That's not real life.

Most Devs get a job and learn a stack and then they stay in that stack unless there is a reason to change

Most BE will know one of either Java or .Net or Python. As that is what most corporates use.

muzani•6mo ago
Corporates will be that way. YC applicants are asking for $500k to build faster than a team of the smartest people in the world funded over millions per year. If you want to say you're in the top 3% of applicants, it's one input form to showcase that.

because they have metrics on how that impact what they want most: quick exits by acquisition
