YC application has this question. Is there a trend here out of successful YC alumni ? How long have you known your co-founder for and how did you meet?

I've been a web programmer most of the time but have basic experience with C++, C# for non web stuffs (desktop, basic unity 2d etc). I always wanted to get into video game development and I think the time has arrived to move on from my current web dev job. Are you hiring or do you know anyone who is taking intern, jr video game developer in SF or Berkeley ? Any recommendation is highly appreciated. My email address is in my profile. Thank you.

I recently joined an agency in Bay Area and I'm getting paid roughly 50K/yr. Work load is heavy and I got quickly assigned a lot of responsibilities and even have to deal with managing and training new hires. I'm fairly good and competitive on my skills but lately I'm having a feeling that I'm heavily underpaid. How much do you make working on similar agencies writing or maintaining traditional CRUD apps ?

Are there any known PHP based startups gone open source and doing well ?

I recently had discussion with my colleague about securing own's web server. According to him, a server is secure when you "show" what you want to show to public and what you do not want to be public is always inaccessible to them.

My questions:

Is it a acceptable definition of a secure server ?

How does file permissions affect server security ?

What are best measures to consider to secure own's server ?
