Why would montrose be pg ? The correlation is not that high. Looks like a few people have picked up pg's mannerisms.

- costco 4y agoThere are factors that make me think it is more likely than not (just scrolled through the comment history, don't feel like linking everything) that he is pg. - Is bolded on pg's page - Mentions yoga - Talks about Lisp often - Talks about YC often - Talks about kids - Links to Paul Graham's website - Says he uses vi - Writes exactly like you would expect pg to write
- ethmaxi 4y agoI'm sophisticately sure they are not. They recommend a founder to ask users directly what they will pay for. Is that what PG would say?
- sillysaurusx 4y agoOf course. Why wouldn’t he? That’s sound advice.
- ethmaxi 4y agoYC startup videos recommend not asking users directly what they will pay for. Users freq. say they will pay for something but back down against other things.
- costco 4y agoWith all due respect: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16785542 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16785542 https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1362369484036653058 https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1362369484036653058 I think you are very likely to be wrong.
- astura 4y agoWow, what an odd thing to get so worked up about.
- pyb 4y agoI agree that this person is trying very very hard to sound like pg ! You could be right actually. Could still be a "wannabe" though.
- seba_dos1 4y agoYeah, that score is only slightly higher than the highest one it shows for my account (which is also bold) - and unless my alter ego has been disguised so well it even managed to hide from myself, I'm pretty sure that isn't me :)
- kazinator 4y agoThe score for montrose vs pg is lower than the score for someone most similar to me, who is definitely not me. I think, the similiarity has to be in the high .80's to suspect that it's the same individual.
