you're obviously joking, but it'd be interesting if you actually tried :)
people seem so caught up in founders' particular ideas at the pre-seed stage and forget that YC is investing in people - specifically: people who try. you can jokingly quip that you'd be better at forking vs code, but at the end of the day they're doing it - not "waiting for their check" - and you're making fun of them on the internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
yes, we should be celebrating this. also, 1) cash comp was $1m and the $190m equity grant vests over 10 years, 2) see the comment posters username - are we surprised by this take? lol
