- orasis 5y agoYou’re mixing cause and effect. They became billionaires in large part because of their work ethic.
- brailsafe 5y agoThat's what they'd certainly like you to believe. The success of ycombinator depends on it!
- throwhauser 5y agoThey're billionaires because of the work ethic, not necessarily their work ethic. Bezos isn't optimizing his own productivity, he optimizes his employees productivity and spends his time as he pleases. He keeps the gains from the productivity regardless. EDIT: Actually I don't know if Bezos optimizes his own productivity or not. Nevertheless, his own productivity is a drop in the bucket compared to the thousands who work for his companies.

- Grustaf 5y agoFew of them work the checkout at walmart, or in a cement factory.
- BoumTAC 5y agoThey are working on what they like, not what is needed, it's totally different. If the thing they do doesn't interested them anymore they will stop.
