#5The biggest surprise for me is that Paul claims he personally has to look the Y-combinator pattern up on Wikipedia. Though I suspect some false modesty here because he didn't want to side track the interview.
As for the rest, lots of interesting details in the general theme that I've come to expect from him. The phrase I like that sums it up is Ready! Fire! Aim! (Add appropriate discussion of tracer bullets.)
