we didnt' get an invite from YC. We have a great idea, an excellent team of 5 (1 hustler 4 engineers) and a great "plan". What are the effects of this rejection on us?
None. We never took YC seriously. We believe in our idea and we are very close to alpha launch and we don't need YC to succeed. We only applied to YC so we could have that media boost or the YC title attached to us. We understand why we got rejected, we had alot of plans and zero traction (because of how we built our strategy to get product market fit).
My advice to other founders: YC is just an incubator, they can only give you advice and introduce you to other founders and investors and give you ~100k in seed funding. You can get all of these things without YC. Infact, it's much easier outside. YC won't make you magically succeed if you don't have a great team or a great product, there's only so much they can fix about you in 3 months. So don't ever let that rejection get to you and keep focused on what you're building and keep evolving until you have product market fit!
I'm sorry why would you want to do that? I mean what are you trying to learn specifically? If you're trying to learn coding then you should probably start with simpler easy stuff like HTML then Javascript then Java/C++...
Otherwise most books about "computing" in general are more outdated since this field evolves so fast.

Freelancers are good for menial design jobs but not for complicated scalable architectures, or apps. They just don't care enough about your idea to put their best in it. You only work 20-22 hours a week you have all the time in the world to develop a great product on the side.
