Re: undefined
#31. Nobody here worships Patrick. We appreciate him. We admire him. Hell, we like him. But it's a long way from that to building altars.
2. Patrick is (absurdly) generous with his time and advice. He's a frequent commenter.
3. He knows what he's talking about. His advice is grounded in experience, and he is successful-- he has achieved much of what he has set out to do. The fact that his goals are different than Drew's are immaterial.
4. For what it's worth, Drew rocks, as well.

#4Wow! How about this: Why don't you "worship" someone you look up to, and let me "worship" someone I look up to?
FWIW, I think he HAS built a real company (or two)! He represents something ACHIEVABLE for most of us "normal" people. I'm confident people connect with him for many reasons and surely this is one of them.
Aside from all that, maybe you should browse his contributions to HN. He GIVES quite a bit and offers quite a bit of "wisdom."
