Did he say a panopticon of skills?

  Don't you know? It's crucial for startup founders to have an 18th-century dystopian surveillance system of skills. In fact, if you play the video backward, you can actually hear Reid recite the entire text of Foucault's Discipline and Punish. (Seriously, I'd guess he meant "panoply.")

    Great guess. I was trying to imagine what sort of metaphor he was evoking with Panopticon - as though the super-founder can see every task that is required of him - works, but it's a stretch. Panoply is much better.

    Nice, you went to a better school than Stanford ostensibly ;)
