I've often thought, would it be useful to create a "Paul Graham Test" based mostly on the essays "Great Hackers" and "Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule" as an analogue to the Joel Test. It reinforces some parts of the Joel Test, particularly the unequivocal importance of private offices. But it seems like so many Y Combinator companies don't embody these quality-first principles, and comments or posts espousing them even here on Hacker News seem to get consistently downvoted or quickly pushed out of the spotlight, or undercut by comments about how wanting an office is "whining" or hijacking the discussion into a debate about headphones vs. real estate costs vs. Agile teams, none of which are relevant. I really wonder why Y Combinator, as a clear thought leader in the technology start-up space, doesn't vocally support private offices more, given Graham's own unequivocal endorsement of them in an essay about foundational ideas about software productivity and quality. The same could be said about other topics beyond offices too.
