It is a real shame you stopped reading. I have no idea why you consider this blog post "antisocial and amoral" can you please expand upon your reasoning? (I really mean this sincerely as I have read through the post over and over, but can't see why you paint it so. Is it because the quote is from Ayn Rand?) Because your comment is first, I think a lot of people may not have read the article/post, so I offer up what I took from the post that I think is relevant to startups: * Working your ass off, at least during specific seasons in life, is also a prerequisite for being awesome. This goes at the top, because if you don’t like hard work, good luck. As mentioned, those first two are prerequisites. They also serve as filters, because lots of people give up on self-determination and hard work. Assuming you can stick with it, it gets easier from here on out. Remember that your goal is to get things done and make other people look good. Take initiative without taking control Overdeliver in your personal relationships. Give more than you get. From time to time, you’ll screw up. This is how you apologize: “I’m really sorry. It was completely my fault. I hope you’ll forgive me, and here is how I am addressing this in the future.” Never be a critic without presenting an alternative. Remember that no statues are erected to critics, and no one is remembered for shooting down other people’s ideas * Though I do think some of his advice is simplistic at times, I feel that there are quite a few good points he mentions. As a side note, I find that it is always good to read something all the way through before dismissing it for a couple of reasons, one being that sometimes (especially on blogs it seems) people like to be confrontational in the beginning to get your attention, and two, I think it is hard to make a judgement on something you haven't read all the way through.
