I don’t agree with this. What I do think is there are lots of “firms” that suck up all the money and efficiency from a project. They have no real desire, or skill a lot of times, to build a successful app but instead to game jira and enjoy a steady stream of suckers.
I’ve been through multiple YC companies now (arriving right after they were funded) and they all pretty much throw money to these code monkey shops that target YC and work with them.
Not just that but I’ve met “scrum masters” who’s entire schtick was consulting YC firms (or other early stage startups) and brought to the table senior engineers of below or equal to mid level quality.
I’d really hate to see how many founders with good ideas saw there time and effort wasted due to a trusting of firms like these.
