That was a priceless post. Turns out Feynman was wrong on one thing though. Wolfram does like being the boss. Possibly very much.

- arebop 16y agoThe impression I got from this talk: http://www.stephenwolfram.com/publications/recent/ycombinatorschool/ http://www.stephenwolfram.com/publications/recent/ycombinato... is that he became a businessman reluctantly.
- T_S_ 16y agoI don't read reluctance into those comments at all. Just look at the comments on personnel management. It's clear he likes it. The early remarks about the "stupid decisions" being made at the first company are a clear sign. Most business leaders know it's culturally not cool to talk like they enjoy leadership. To me, Wolfram went to the enfant terrible school of management. At least he turned out to be competent enough to last.
