Fantastic article. When I read patio11's content I'm almost always amazed at two aspects: (1) the important truths about capitalism/the valley/entrepreneurship/getting better and (2) his simple, matter of fact, and no-ego way of expressing the said truths. (1) in itself is not unique to him, there are many great comment writers on HN and elsewhere on the blogosphere. What makes him exceptional, I think, is (2) which sets him apart from most people at that level of public visibility. After reading his posts I feel like I'd love to have a beer with this person and have a deep discussion on a multitude of topics. The only other content I've gotten the same joy is pg's (earlier) essays.
