- StavrosK 16y agoI don't know, I see where the author's coming from but I think pg really nailed this one. I don't see any signs that adoption of this thing will slow down, especially as new technologies make the thing cheaper, faster and better. I really think that the author's opinion is antiquated in light of technological progress. I'd bet that we'll see this thing becoming as much a part of our lives as the other thing pg talked about in that essay.
- danielsiders 16y agoWhile obviously this kind of article will appeal to the HN readership, especially in the wake of recent postings, is there a more legitimate discussion to be had about the value of YC vs the value of the PG personality cult/the value YC has outside the standard Silicon Valley personality-driven organization? I'm a long-time fan of PG and YC (we recently submitted) but I don't view YC or HN as being defined by their creators/partners in the same way that Arrington and Calacanis tend to despite similarly divisive opinions. Is that because I agree with PG more or because he's a more positive community influence?
