Great article, and a big improvement on the loud debate we've been hearing in recent comments. When you look at the basic points, pg and Ryan Carson and Mark Suster actually agree with each other. But a big debate gets fired up because of semantics (different views around meaning of "cofounder", extremist statements like possible/impossible). Perhaps the biggest source of friction is that most people don't write as carefully as pg. In contrast, this write up is really balanced. He's acknowledging there's a grey scale of what's possible depending on your situation, and gives a lucid explanation of the benefits of cofounders and/or a strong initial team. Nice work.
