- dpapathanasiou 15y agoAltucher doesn't get a lot of love on HN b/c he embodies the worst of the excesses of the dot-com bubble, and his continual "Follow me on Twitter" exhortations in this piece are annoying, but most of his points in this article are actually good.

- krav 15y agoDude, it's written to be humorous and he's sharing the experience of the time. Aside, I enjoyed this blog post of yours, good reminder. http://denis.papathanasiou.org/?p=438 http://denis.papathanasiou.org/?p=438
- dpapathanasiou 15y agoHmmm... maybe, but take a look at the comments: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2134720 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2134720 I tend to agree with Colin Percival and others.
- krav 15y agoJust looked at the comments, still like the post. There's sharing of experience, what he did wrong and why, humor, and lessons learned.
- dpapathanasiou 15y agoWe agree to disagree. Despite his occasional sensible points, I can't say I respect him.
- krav 15y agoI disagree. I've taken the time to read all his blog posts, each one. I've found that level of value from his blog. What he does that's beyond most bloggers out there - he freely shares how he's screwed up, what's he's learned and is learning. The guy is smart! It's refreshing and I've learned a lot from reading his blog.
