Altman's recent essays have used the same phrasing/style as Paul's.. hope Paul isn't handing that off too. =P

Re: Sam Altman for President
#82I’m very excited about this. YC is the smartest group of people I’ve ever worked with, and I believe that startups are going to be the major driver for innovation and economic growth going forward. I was thinking this morning about what it was like to start a startup in early 2005 and how much it’s changed now. PG has done a remarkable amount to improve the startup ecosystem for founders—in fact, it’s hard to think o…
Congrats Sam!
Congrats Sam. Ace news.

Congrats Sam! Thank you for the advice to continually focus, focus, focus even in the face of temptation to do more.
Re: Sam Altman for President
#84This is absolutely fantastic news for YC, their startups and the community as a whole.
pg was a huge influence on me - I've read all of his essays, watched his talks and studied his comments on HN. I've learned so much about startups and making cool things from him and am now in SF hacking away at a startup solely thanks to the inspiration "How to Make Wealth" gave me.
sama, if you'll take a piece of advice from a lowly HN commenter, please be the same to the next generation of founder/hackers. Don't just be really good at accelerating startups. Teach, inspire, and care. You're inheriting a legacy, now build one of your own.
I've never met you in person but from what I've heard, you're just as capable of this as pg was in your own way. Godspeed.

#85>I'm convinced there's a fundamental change happening in the way work gets done. It's becoming normal to start a startup.
I'm hoping this will be the topic of PG's next essay.

Congratulations Sam. Well deserved! For a few seconds while the post loaded, I wondered if you are really running for president. It seemed improbable, but not impossible :)
It would be awesome for technology focused entrepreneurial focused people did get into the presidency and politics. Maybe guys like Sam one day or Jim Greer of Kongregate: http://www.kongregate.com/forums/1-kongregate/topics/383925-...

Congrats Sam! You've recently shown your ability to be a thought leader with your writing, and I couldn't be more excited for this opportunity to show your mettle as an executer as well. Here's to a bright future for YC!
Re: Sam Altman for President
