Show HN: A YC/PG Essays Directory Roadmap

A developer built a directory called Cockroach.fyi to help founders navigate YC and PG essays by startup stage and track what they've already consumed. The tool was created out of personal need and is being shared publicly. The name references Paul Graham's essay on startups being resilient like cockroaches.

Background

- PG = Paul Graham, a well-known programmer, writer, and venture capitalist. He co-founded Y Combinator (YC), the startup accelerator that launched companies like Airbnb, Dropbox, and Stripe. His essays on startups, technology, and entrepreneurship are widely read in the tech world. - Y Combinator (YC) is the most famous startup accelerator. It provides early-stage funding, advice, and connections in exchange for equity. Its leaders and partners (including Graham) produce a huge amount of content — essays, talks, videos — aimed at founders. - A "YC/PG Essays Directory Roadmap" is a tool to navigate that mountain of content. The idea: instead of just having a giant library of essays sorted by date, you can filter by startup stage (e.g., "idea stage," "launching," "seeking funding") and track which ones you have already read. - The name "Cockroach" references Graham's famous essay urging startups to be resilient and hard to kill — able to survive a "nuclear winter" (a metaphor for a market crash or a long period with no funding). A startup that survives anything is a "cockroach."

Roman Storm warns that the legal theory in his case could set a precedent making open-source developers liable for how others use their code, potentially criminalizing the mere publication of privacy, messaging, or crypto tools. He notes that developer Michael Lewellen cannot publish lawful code due to prosecution fears, and argues this chilling effect extends beyond any single case.
‘Why Is Meta Destroying Its Engineering Organization?’

Meta's engineering culture is deteriorating under Mark Zuckerberg and Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang, who have introduced keyboard tracking, reassignments to data labeling, and AI-centric performance metrics. Critics argue this incentivizes performative AI use, drives away experienced engineers, and contributed to a major Instagram hijacking incident caused by AI-written and AI-reviewed code.
