And it has the same fake excuse as usual "Since this was our first OSS project, we didn’t realize at first."

He sure discovered this new open source thing and it's very confusing. It's not like it's almost 40 years old at that point. I'll never understand people who lie like toddlers.

This incompetence excuse puts YC in a bad spotlight too, because it makes them look like they are funding people with exact zero software development experience.

Aren't VCs based on the principle of throwing money in as many directions as possible and hoping something turns out to be a unicorn?

That's what they do in practice, but not what they claim to do.

This is what happens when you have people without sufficient domain experience making decisions.
