Ask Sahil Lavingia - pinterest designer, gumroad founder - a question
- Udo 14y agoSeriously? "How tall are you" and other extremely softball questions? I think the average question quality on Askolo would increase if they would display the asker's name next to the Q.
- jasonshen 14y agoFeel free to ask better questions... =)
- rollypolly 14y agoHere's another one that had me frowning: Q: How did you end up in Silicon Valley at such a young age? A: I flew on a plane from LA. Southwest, I think. It's like a middle-schooler wrote these.
- yinyinwu 14y agoSahil wrote a blog post about the length of emails: http://sahillavingia.com/blog/dont-judge-an-email-by-its-length/ http://sahillavingia.com/blog/dont-judge-an-email-by-its-len... There are other questions and answers that you should check out. My favorite: Q: Rails or Django? A: Users don't care so I don't care.
- ZanderEarth32 14y agoTo Sahil's point on emails, short emails were something that were shocking to me as well when I first started interacting with busy people. I took it for rudeness, or dismissive. I know better now and am glad to even receive a reply in the first place, regardless of length.
- Zev 14y agoBeing busy isn't ever an excuse to be rude.

- pbreit 14y agoWhy? Good or lame reason?
- Alex3917 14y agoWow I didn't realize that Sahil was the one behind Dayta, I think I still have that on my phone from when he asked people to test it.
- rokhayakebe 14y agoQ: Rails or Django? A:Users don't care so I don't care. -- If I could pay with my Karma I could give you 1/5th of it.
