        Incidentally, invoking such questions ritualistically is a fairly accurate description of the job of a YC partner. If you start asking questions like "what's preventing you from launching today?" the answer, to the founders' own surprise, quite often turns out to be nothing.

        Only partly true. I've seen the effects first hand of working max speed for 80 hours a week over a long period of time. It results in burn out which is real (chemicals in the brain), and not just something you can push through.

        This is a combination of military type motivation to success & the basic concept of small businesses being more lithe and adaptable than large corps isn't it?
