- akhilcacharya 6y agoIt’s plausible - it’s not a terribly illuminating anecdote
- meowface 6y agoI think the founder and CEO of a large, valuable company randomly sitting down with an intern to discuss some topic for 30 minutes illuminates something about their personality, even if that alone isn't proof they're a saint or anything. It's the collection of anecdotes like that, the absence of counter-anecdotes, and little things like Patrick still sometimes commenting on HN that paint a fuller picture. Such a person could still potentially be hiding a darker side, but I think it decreases the probability.
