YC NYC: Paul Graham Shares The Antidote To Startup Poison
- coderdude 15y agoThat article was posted to TC 5 minutes ago. Do you have Paul Graham on keyword alert or something? LOL I'm just saying, this article was posted less than 5 minutes after it was published on TechCrunch. It certainly wasn't even read before being submitted. You can tell it was posted in a haste to be first because the initial title for the submission was "Fsdfs." Once it was confirmed it was first the title was changed to the correct title.

- aaronbrethorst 15y agoAfter the program, when a founder says they’re moving back to a city that isn’t exactly known for startups — Minneapolis, for example — Graham does his best to talk them out of it. I grew up in Minneapolis and moved to Seattle about eight years ago after I graduated from college. I moved not because I was concerned about founding a startup in Minneapolis, but because I couldn't find a job I found interesting[1]. My software-focused friends still left in the Twin Cities have job titles like 'Business Analyst,' 'IT Manager,' 'Geek Squad Something Something,' and 'SAP Solutions Architect.' Frankly, I've never looked back, and cannot imagine ever seeking out work in the area. I wish the region was more attractive to the kinds of technology companies you can find here on the West Coast. [1] I was working for Honeywell at the time, which was the single most soul-crushing job I've ever had.
