Which essay do you like the best? It inspires me so much and makes me want to keep writing. As he said, there’s a kind of thinking that can only be owned by writing.
- djyde 6mo agoMy favorite is "Do things that don't scale" (https://www.paulgraham.com/ds.html https://www.paulgraham.com/ds.html), which has been really inspiring for my indie product work. Especially for those of us building internet products, we often tend to build scalable things right from the start, but in reality, products in the early stages require founders to do a lot of non-automated dirty work. For entrepreneurs, reading Paul Graham's articles is incredibly useful. (Sent via haiker.app — My handmade Hacker News app)
