This makes no sense whatsoever. Purely subjective speculation at best.

- tome 10y agoDid you also say that about PG's article 12 years ago? http://paulgraham.com/pypar.html http://paulgraham.com/pypar.html
- AnTaoiseach 10y agoPaul Graham is overrated. I believe almost every developer goes through a phase where they are enamoured by his writings, and thanfully, they grow through them when they get into the real world. Perhaps your time will come soon too.
- tome 10y agoThat seems unnecessarily personal. I am honestly curious whether you think PG's opinions on Python 12 years ago also "make no sense whatsoever" and are "Purely subjective speculation at best". Speculation about my professional growth is irrelevant.

- tome 10y agoSorry, what do you mean?
- CyberDildonics 10y agoI'm saying don't play both sides of the coin, an ad hominem attack and then acting like someone else is a bully.
- tome 10y agoWhich ad hominem attack?
- jimbokun 10y ago"Paul Graham is overrated." The total market cap of companies coming out of YCombinator is a pretty staggering number. I don't say that as proof Paul Graham's writings are all true and should be accepted as gospel without question. But it's not credible to suggest Paul Graham doesn't understand "the real world" of software business.
