One of the stranger aspects of being a YC partner is having to be a guinea pig for new things. This is not always a good experience, but it was with Doordash.

Jessica and I had small children at the time, and Doordash let us combine two things we'd previously assumed were incompatible: eating food from restaurants, and being at home with our kids.

Previously the only way to combine kids and restaurants was to take the kids with you to the restaurant. And as anyone with small children knows, this is not an unmixed good.

We are in the same boat, with small kids; the explosion of great options on the delivery apps is something I hope outlasts the pandemic.

A garden and a gas-equipped kitchen are the center of my next home.

I’ll have an entrance for the DoorDash Elite chef service.

which then leads to more things done at home as secondary consequences thus more netflix, boardgames, coloring etc. Second order effects of doordash...hmmm

In 1989 I visited the US for the first time and stayed with BIX friends in Laguna Beach CA. Their house had no kitchen. Every day they selected meals from a book of restaurant menus and phoned orders (often from several restaurants) to a delivery company.

Hey PG, am a big fan of your essays and have read most of them. But, could not find some content from you (or even otherwise) on choosing of one's life partner? I think you can break down any topic and arrive at the crux. Do u recommend some book/essay on this topic?

It baffles me that this is one of the most important decisions we take in life & yet there are so few books/content/canon on choosing or finding of spouse
