He talks about how people look down on the genre because of the foul language, but I have to wonder. Would Gates and Buffet and the rest of the business world put up with a foul mouthed individual? I very much doubt that he talks like he raps and more than likely he keeps his mouth in check when trying to make million dollar deals.
- InfinityX0 16y agoUndoubtedly. He has business sense - a foul mouth sells the records, but it doesn't seal the million-dollar deals. I have no question that he is smart enough to not be a philanderer when talking with other business moguls.You don't get to $500 million net worth without this ability to differentiate.
- ZeroGravitas 16y agoDidn't Joel (on Software) write about famously foul-mouthed reviews from Gates? Here it is: My First BillG Review http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2006/06/16.html "In my BillG review meeting, the whole reporting hierarchy was there, along with their cousins, sisters, and aunts, and a person who came along from my team whose whole job during the meeting was to keep an accurate count of how many times Bill said the F word. The lower the f-count, the better."
