^* Little-known fact: Y Combinator alums are the first readers of all Y Combinator applications, and are essentially the first filter. This is the one question I always make it a point to read when reviewing Y Combinator applications. If the answer is left blank, my cursor is already halfway to the No button. If it reads something like “I’d never hack a system or do anything illegal” I hit that No button faster than a Jeopardy contestant buzzes in.
