    For the first couple years, I did the cooking at YC. This is me making a last-minute vegan dinner for Evan Williams when he came to speak. Twitter hadn't been founded yet. He was there as the founder of Blogger. I remember he gave a really good talk.pic.twitter.com/sqrnx7DSXP

        Came here to see if anyone else noticed the lack of diversity. 95% of the comments don't mention it.

        Looks to me like that might be an olive oil bottle?

        I remember a comment on HN saying the cooking wasn't that good, with apologies to you. But it was such an amazing atmosphere. Startup School '07 followed by a trip to YC with Trevor's robot... It was like Star Trek.

        I know! I grew up reading Paul Graham essays like everyone else, but I’m a bit more cynical about them now.

        Even if the food wasn't the best, your confidence in this picture is admirable!
