You make some good points, but I think the piece could be a lot better if it weren't framed as a rebuttal to pg's article. I know that it is far easier to come up with something to say at all when you have something to respond to and I know how tempting it is to latch onto a prominent figure and disagree with their famous ideas. But it is psychologically an uphill battle. It undermines your actual message by reinforcing the assumption that multiple founders is the status quo and you need to battle against it to go solo. That idea just feels exhausting to contemplate. If you plan to write more on this subject, I would be interested in hearing a great deal more about specific success stories and the insider perspective in terms of process and how your day goes. Edit: Inspired by this piece, I wrote my own blog post. http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2016/06/working-is-lonely.html http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2016/06/working-is-l... (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11912395 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11912395) It in no way references this piece. It took me a really long time to figure out how to write something inspired by something I had read without making it a rebuttal or direct response to the thing I had read. So, as noted above, I am totally sympathetic to why that happens. And, to reiterate what I said above: I would sincerely be interested in seeing more info about what working alone is all about. Thanks.
