  So much in here, so many topics, so many interesting insights. This quote hit me the hardest: "Where I grew up, no one would ever walk by a person collapsed on the side of the street on their way to work and not do something about it. I hope I never get used to the fact that that happens in San Francisco." I have a lot of thoughts about attitudes and politics that bubble up as I think about that, but I think I'll just let it stand here in the comments. Read (or listen, I almost forgot that's an option here too) the whole interview, it's pretty thought provoking.

  >They are never dumb, but upper-middle-class, pretty smart people that have grit and drive and creativity and vision and edge and a different way of thinking about the world. That is what I think I’m good at spotting, and that is what I think are good founders. Pretty sure everyone on hacker news would identify with his description, but would be terrible founders. Like me!
