For the love of God, YC companies-to-be stop posting ambiguous job description

I am so frustrated because I am one of those potential candidates that you all YC companies that are seeking - the important first hire but this is the one thousand four hundred and seventy-forth time that I see posting that just wasted 20 seconds of my life reading and got no freaking clue what I signing up for.

If you can't say what your company actually does, I'm sure you can say things like you will be working on solving monetization issues for the laundry machines.

I want to give props to some that are doing it right and here's one: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2877677

Here's one that I'm not really interested in what they have to say. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2878738

I've built cool stuff and awesome systems so I don't need fluff.
