"I really enjoyed how the simulation felt like real work at an actual startup. The tasks were practical and hands-on — building a Kanban board, connecting it to a backend, analyzing real data, and applying to YC startups. It gave me a genuine feel for what it's like to work at a Y Combinator startup and helped me build real skills I can show to employers."

I really enjoyed how this program simulates the actual experience of working inside a fast-moving startup. Instead of just giving theoretical tasks, it let me work across the whole product cycle — understanding the user problem, building a feature, analyzing the impact, and proposing what to ship next. It felt very close to real-world product engineering.

The overall structure was good, but the experience could be improved by including a small real-world use case, like running unit tests or deploying a simple app, to demonstrate the practical benefits of GitHub Actions. Also, a brief video walkthrough or a visual flowchart of the workflow structure might help beginners understand the concepts faster.
