  I have talked to Patrick at what I think he & I & Erin would agree is excruciating length on this subject and that name has never come up in those conversations. Many others have: Peldi, Amy Hoy, I think Brennan Dunn, and most especially Joel Spolsky.

    That's very interesting. I remember Joel Spolsky most prominently for the idea of making a workplace that programmers love, which will bring revenues later. Interestingly enough, Patrick hasn't had any employees in his businesses, and has really modeled it differently in many ways. Then again, Joel Spolsky has written on many other topics, many of them more business oriented, e.g. the Ben & Jerry's vs. If you're reading this comment and haven't read articles by Joel Spolsky, you should really go read them now.
