Regardless of the strengths or weaknesses of this article, the scansion of his/her opening poetry bothers me.

In the spirit of hacking, I've tried to improve it (and please help me if I've done this wrong or poorly!):

    Twas the Y-Comb deadline eve, when all through the valley
    All the hackers were stirring (it's a big night for Cali!).

    Scores of applications were POST'ed with care
    In hopes they'd be found by Paul Graham to be fair.

    And many a partner slumbered softly in bed,
    while visions of A-rounds flooded their SO's heads.

    Quite out of the blue my iPhone did ring:
    an old friend to a bar for a convo I'd bring!
