And this whole thing came full circle once Paul Graham stepped away. YCombinator was initially cool because it was a hack on the incubator/vc scene and a successful one. Now it seems more like an MBA-esque scheme replete with spreadsheets.
- daveloyall 11y agoI came across PG because he wrote some battlefront story about using lisp in the early days of dotcom[0]. Probably found a link to that on some emacs site or channel. Come to think about it, I've only heard the HN crowd praise him. Oh, well, and he does it himself. What HN does do is give me a steady stream of content to consume. Articles about physics followed by code demos followed by ethnographies. Shit, have I really been spending time in a pro-money, anti-woman poser circle-wank fest just for the free links? I wonder what's up on mefi today... 0: http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html
