He smiled, raised a glass of champagne, and said, "cheers."

Being able to say you raised test coverage from 30% to 70% is nothing to shrug at. Having early success is key to having continued fun on the project.

How about we drop the prudishness, and discuss the points raised by the article? Seriously, what's with all the language moralising?

TL;DR the company they bought acquired another company and raised significant debt- they used that debt to pay back Bain Capital.

They raised $80mm at $900mm valuation not more than a month ago. I strongly suspect Quora is planning a huge pivot which they feel is ambitious but doable in 3 months, and YC believes in the value of this pivot; that is the only plausible explanation I can think of.

As the opinion notes, this was a case of "first impression" - meaning that no published decision has ever dealt specifically with the precise question raised of whether APIs in themselves are protectable by copyright or not. 2.

As someone born and raised in Michigan and whose partner was also born and raised in Michigan, my advice is that other than visiting grandparents and hiking and touring breweries, you will find your opportunities tremendously expanded by as quickly as possible getting the fuck out of Michigan.
