Watching the first video "Holy shit , my idea sucks" around the 15:30 mark or if you look at the slides, its slide 11, the guy says that an idea "Must be NEW or BETTER".
How true is that? Why MUST it be (only) one of those two?
I was reading one of 37 signals books' "Rework" and they said their model was not to make something new or better, but to simplify. They admit there are better applications out there, jam packed with more features but they found that to be to cumbersom.
If someone from YCombinator watched these videos first before starting up their idea(s), would they be where they are right now? How informative would someone suggest these videos are that has some experience in the Startup field?

DO NOT worry about the 1000 person limit. We'll release more codes if we need to. You are all welcome :). I'm a huge fan of HN. Just please enjoy the course - we spent a lot of time convincing the Founder Institute to release these videos and I hope you like them.

First of all I was going to complain that I couldent get in. I was going to reply as an angry raging code monkey and demand a password. Then I kept reading. =\
The first 1000 readers that use the code "readwriteweb" will get access to the course materials, which is currently available by invitation-only.
