How so? The GOOG exec story is about how to get rich by climbing the "Corporate Ladder", while Persson's way is to become successful by going indie and producing games people want. The interesting fact is that their wealth are comparable number-wise.
- dopamean 14y agoI guess I wasn't really focusing on the wealth as it seems to me to be only mentioned in an effort to get people's attention. I think both stories are fascinating.
- cygwin98 14y agoAgreed on the link-bait factor. Though the perfect timing of these two stories got me think why so many great programmers go indie: if you are great at building stuff, try to be next Persson, or if you have great vision, PG will be your model. Otherwise, you're screwed.
