- bluu00 6y agomentioning Paul Graham. not mentioning anyone else. Two different things. PG has inspired many. So, I don't think there he needs a "sensitivity reader" for a blog post.
- strbean 6y agoUh oh, is this guy questioning PG worship on HN? Get him!
- jakobgreenfeld 6y agoThis was something that stuck out to me like a sore thumb when I proofread the article. After all, the whole point is to highlight the various product ideation approaches, not just Paul Graham's favorite approach. But it's just that Graham is so damn quotable.
- a9h74j 6y agoI did not read the PG link, but I did read a book once by a leading sociologist of science. One kind of example he cited involved the unusual number of Nobel prize winners (in different fields) who had been college roommates. As I remember it, his argument highlighted or presumed a shared strategy: smart people seeking out exposure and conversational opportunities at the leading edge of new fields.
