At the start of Y Combinator, we only knew one thing well: how to write code Shortly thereafter, we asked our group partner, Dalton Caldwell, whether it would be wise to hire a product designer for Zenfetch. His response completely changed the course of our startup ❗

“The pain that you hold is yours. There is not a single pain quite like it. Nobody else on God’s green earth can feel this pain, or have the indescribable feeling of pride you will have when you overcome it. This pain is not your curse; this pain is your privilege.” - Arnold

Seems like a lot of people are upset that a YC company copied Linear then open-sourced it. Hot take but I don't think it matters. Linear is the gold standard for project management UX - you can copy their design but you can't copy their direction. You'll always be one step
