Quora would have to be having an extremely difficult time hiring for it to be a recruiting move. A Venn diagram of engineers or designers for whom Quora is more interesting when affiliated with Y Combinator, whom Quora would also want to hire, but who could not already join most other Y Combinator startups does not overlap.

Ya, I tend to agree with you, but without some sort of recruiting angle I'm left with nothing. Still scratching my head.

Help pivoting.
