I'm interested in hearing more from serial technical founders. They're usually quite busy and don't blog or do interviews as often as the CEOs.
For instance, I just started using LogDNA and was really impressed by the product, looked up the team and discovered it's Lee Liu's third(?) company. Alex Maccaw has had an influence on my career from his JS work and Stripe product, then Sourcing.io and now Clearbit. Max Krohn: SparkNotes, OkCupid, now Keybase, I still think Max's async solutions are some of the best in the business.
Writing code while growing a team and communicating with the other founders to build a product requires a smart balance. The technical choices made by these founders tend to be very efficient and easy to communicate to others. I would love to hear more from any of these founders (Thanks all for your work!), and I'm sure YC knows of more such founders I haven't yet discovered.
