    The "Y Combinator crowd?" What does he even mean? The partners? The alumni? Hacker News users? Though in all 3 cases I'd guess this mysterious "overlap" is the same: We've read some of Scott's essays and thought they were well-written. Boy is this going to be a boring article.pic.twitter.com/XexQVtnmLl

        Unless they start making things up of course. A sinister trilateralist conspiracy, using an obscure protocol said to be popular with techies called SMTP... (This screenshot was from a conversation between the reporter and @webdevMason.)

        I assumed that phrase was akin to "New York or Los Angeles residents," since it would be even weirder otherwise, but time will tell.

        Plot twist: The article is actually a social experiment where the author satirizes bad journalistic practices common in coverage of Silicon Valley.

        What a hilarious idea. Someone should do that for real.

        Just the fact that there isn't already an article (from a major publication) about the best blog on the internet says a lot.

        What’s their angle here? The overlap - if it exists - isn’t even remotely newsworthy. It smells of a hit piece but I can’t see where they’re going with it when there’s literally nothing of note.
