PG wrote a good post on this topic (a counterpoint I would argue). Unfortunately I can't find it. But it's about why selling your company makes sense -- why you should give it to people who are optimzied for running a business. Or something to that effect. Probably worth rereading if I could find it.
- pg 15y agoI think this may be the one you mean: http://paulgraham.com/prcmc.html http://paulgraham.com/prcmc.html
- amirmc 15y agoThe talk you link to in that essay leads to a 404. Is it this talk on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDXJ6bMkMY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CDXJ6bMkMY)? If so, maybe you want to update the link.
- kenjackson 15y agoThat is the one. Looked right at the name in the list of essays and skipped it. Thanks Paul. Good to reread.
- pg 15y agoIt's an awkward title (I had to think myself "What was that one called?") but if I gave it the obvious title it would spoil the surprise ending.
- hedgehog 15y agoThere's a typo down in the credits (Jessica's name).
- pg 15y agoFixed; thanks.
- mosburger 15y agoThere was also a great debate between PG and DHH (of Rails fame) on what defines a "startup," as well as some philosophical tangents on what made one successful. It was a really good discussion. This quote reminded me of that thread, but I'll be darned if I can find it now.
