CEO who puts profits second
- rms 19y agoI love how his bio opens. "Possibly the only CEO ever described as anti-establishment, a communist, and a socialistic anarchist..." http://www.craigslist.org/about/jim.buckmaster.html http://www.craigslist.org/about/jim.buckmaster.html
- yters 19y agoI like reading stuff like this. It's nice to think that it doesn't take greed, or any kind of significant focus on the bottom line, to outperform everyone else. Otherwise, life seems pretty tiresome. Now, if someone created a most awesome computer game that wasn't a complete waste of time I'd be a happy person.

- yters 19y agoI'll be making a in-game re-programmable MUD at some point. Neither is awesome in the sense of WoW or any of these other games that are such huge time sinks for so many people. I find that depressing since it implies the useful and the preferable don't match up. Now if computer games could become equivalent to great art, there'd be hope.
