I mean, Joel Spolsky is just like, some guy. Even Paul Graham is not exactly noteworthy in computer science or software engineering, except to a relatively small cadre of engineers that want to build startups (there are about 27 million software engineers in the world). Plus there's always new blood coming in that have never heard of who you think is important and might have learned via a completely different pathway.
- listenallyall 3y agoI don't want to put words in your mouth. Are you implying that if you were considering joining a startup, it might be a red flag if the founder had never heard of Paul Graham?
- cellis 3y agoI think the people are less important to know about than the concepts or ideas they've promoted that may have stood the test of time.
