YC acceptance rate is 1%? Sure beats the job market right now!

I don't think that's true. I've been getting so many interviews lately. You just need to apply early or read the job description, they sometimes include some sort of alternate way of applying (to avoid the bots). A lot of companies are now asking for personal projects, etc. So you need to have that.

> Take the legend of Lake Lagunita Island. In the early 1990s, the Kappa Alpha fraternity decided to embark on an audacious plan. One fraternity brother rented a commercial bulldozer, another cleared sand from around the house, and a third charmed Stanford’s head groundskeeper to sneak the equipment across university land to reach the lake. A Cabo-themed island was constructed in the middle of the lake overnight. They later rigged a zipline from their roof to the sandbar.
This hits close for me. I have immense respect for the students who pulled this off. 2 years ago, a much (much) smaller stunt got me nearly fired at $FAANG, and all I could think was "where has the culture gone?"
