Has anyone applied to Y Combinator?

[djs13]

For those who don't know, Y Combinator is a company that invests seed funding in early staged start-ups. They have this pretty interesting program where they choose a decent amount of entrepreneurs and pay their way to live in the Bay Area for three months this summer while the entrepreneurs network and launch their start-ups.

It's definitely not something I'm banking on as I'm already working on a venture of my own which is not quite the "reinventing the wheel" type which Y Combinator looks for. It seems like a cool opportunity though but I was told to apply with a partner or partners with coding experience since I don't have alot of programming knowledge.

I was wondering if anyone on the Fastlane ever applied to Y Combinator? And if anyone was interested in possibly sending in an app with me just for the hell of it.
