Well yeah dude, our corporate social media mobile app requires the best of the best! We have a $4M Stage 3A valuation from our VC and were in YC round 6 last month! Our team of 6 MBAs and 1 programmer absolutely requires the most prestigious of programmers! You think I'm really going to hire someone that screwed up a simple if statement?! PFT!


Your startup bullshit is off. Stage 3A isn’t a thing. It’s seed, A, B, C &c. YC doesn’t designate cohorts by number but by year followed by W or S, or Winter or Summer. You’re not going to get into YC with a team of six MBAs and one programmer and if you got in with a team of two MBAs and a programmer you will not end up hiring more MBAs before more programmers.


Hyperbole is a type of humor.


It seemed pretty obvious that comment was meant to be satirical.
