I guess PG better start charging for his essays, then! That is, if he wants us to respect him.
- SirWart 17y agoIf his full-time job was writing essays then I'd hope he charge for him. edit: After reading it again, I think this is a poor retort. Paul's essays on entrepreneurship are better written and more insightful because he's actually been an entrepreneur. Hopefully Andrew's interviews become better and more insightful as he tries to put what his interviewees preach into practice. Journalism is full of people who write about things they've only read or heard about, and I think there's really no substitute for experiencing something firsthand as a way to understand it.
- sailormoon 17y agoSo readers should, after reading the essays, go and look up whether he has any other jobs before deciding whether or not to respect them? Ridiculous.

- marciovm123 17y agoHe does; go to amazon.com and search for paul graham and you'll get a bunch of premium-consumption options for his work.
- staunch 17y agoHe's got a single book of some of his essays (Hackers & Painters) for sale. He doesn't charge you for access to any of the essays on his site (which I believe is every one he's released). He doesn't even have ads on there.
