Opening #3: Linux Administrator
We're looking to hire a very smart Linux admin to help support our back-end systems. Be prepared to deal with BIG data and tons of servers.
You should be ultra-comfortable on a Linux CLI. In particular, Ubuntu. You should have at least some experience with some of the following technologies (not all, that would be pretty nuts!):
I certainly am not claiming to be a Rockstar however I will answer your question in the best way I know how.
I believe in people truly adding value, I know from experience (knowing YC Alums) that YC adds value and can turn a good product into a great product. I am not too proud to know that there are lots of people out there who are Faster, Stronger, Smarter and probably better looking than me however I am also aware that if I am not actively seeking out those people (I believe YC has tons of them) then I am already a step behind those who are.
So while I truly believe with the right product and vision I will succeed no matter what I find no harm in trying to better myself via a program like YC.
I wouldn't say anything YC provides can't be found elsewhere with some good old fashioned elbow grease and networking. But for a lot of people it will offer a big head start.
EDIT: What's with the downvotes? I thought HN was mostly hivemind-free, but I guess not when it comes to YC?
