Very much enjoyed listening to this. Graham's enthusiasm is palpable and infectious, and his knowledge of the subfield is clearly second to none.

- arketyp 17y agoI've read Paul Graham's essays and followed his projects ever since I stumbled upon his essay on Java (as an ambitious teenager dreaming of hacking), but I've never actually heard him talk. I was surprised, gathering from the manners of expression and enthusiasm, how well he fit my image of the hacker and nerd - although I had all the reasons to expect that. It's not the voice I've heard in text. Anyway, it got me thinking how much being surrounded by young (be it yet intelligent and stimulating) hacker people affects the way you think and talk.
