pg, through his writings (I never met him in real life).
I was studying in college and my AI teacher was using LISP. He redirected us toward pg's essays... and I have to say that it was truly inspiring.
It took 3 more years before I actually started to work on my startup, but without this teacher and pg's essays I'm sure it wouldn't have happened.
- flashgordon 17y agoas cliched and toadlike it may sound.. for me it was actually PG. And what scares me was that it was completely random. I was just googling for entrepreneurship (more specifically on how to be an ISV) and stumbled upon PG's essays. Man that was an eye-opener. Ive always wanted to be entrepreneur (atleast since I was 12) but I never did anything beyond coding and PG's essays kind of opened me to the bigger picture. I wish I found them when I was in my teens, but could have been worse!
