I've been eagerly watching/reading all of these lectures.
Top quality content. Many thanks to YC for doing this - I look forward to the beneficial impact that spreading this knowledge will have.
My only complaint is that many of these things are easy to hear, and agree with - i.e. talk to users first, of course! Yet, it can be hard to bridge the gap between what we agree with, and the actions we take. Much easier to bridge the gap when this advice is given during YC session, where people can take it and immediately apply it.
To remedy this for myself I'm making checklists for each of the classes, almost like a CS183B sanity check tool.
As an example, here's my checklist for class #5 (on growth).

(by the way, typeform is awesome and way better than google forms)
Anyhow, awesome series and I look forward to watching this lecture. I'll reply and post my checklist for this class too!
