Are you looking for people with lots of experience for the engineering positions or will you consider graduates?


We are interested in both recent grads and veterans, as long as you are smart, fun to be around, and passionate about Airbnb. I think a well balanced team should have people with different levels of experience.


Will they accept resumes from outside the US? Im just finishing my software engineering post-grad in Ireland, would love to work in a startup like Airbnb.


Yes, we are happy to interview talented candidates from abroad.


Not working in Chrome for me...


are you planning on writing the next in the series soon? pretty interesting.


Yeah, soon.

Anything specific you want to hear about?


Why was it so bad as to be comparable to eating glass?


What I meant was that building a bot is worse because you don't realize immediately that it's a bad idea, unlike eating glass.

This topic is important and deserves a long discussion--its one of the main things I want to write about in the future.


i would call about.com the most annoying website ever


about.com has never spammed me. Tagged.com wins.


what are the 2 startups called?



What is the hacker house? I've heard it mentioned before, but don't know what it is.



That is such a cool idea. Sounds much more fun than renting an apartment. Any other ideas like that ever come up? Is this something common among, say, YC applicants?


well one of them looks like http://280north.com/


Nope. That's 40 North ;)


I thought it took ages to get an application published on the App store and Apple has to review each app?


Free apps have a lot fewer hoops that you have to jump through, so you can publish almost immediately.

As far as the article goes, I think the main point has been obvious for some time. Apple knew that these sorts of apps would be popular and initially blocked a number of the more crude ones. When they stared allowing the fart apps etc., the flood gates really broke open. The same happened with facebook apps. Whenever you have such an open platform with the potential to reach a wide audience, you're going to have a wide range of "success" stories.


I submitted this free app over 5 weeks ago and still haven't heard anything. Any ideas?

I have a dell mini 9, its great for college and checking email. Also good for light web browsing. Its not great for programming because the keyboard is a bit to small.

It works great with the new "cloud" web apps like dropbox and google docs offline.


It would be pretty easy for me to get a J-1 visa, which would allow me to work for 4 months. I had one for the summer of 2007. The requirements are that you are going back into education at the end of the summer or that you are just after finishing final year.

Would there be any other problems, apart from visa's?


cool. i'd think that all other issues would be case-by-case instead of general.


Consider applying for YC's Summer 2026 batch! Applications are open till May 4
