A Conversation with Paul Graham [video]

It's bothering me that Geoff introduced Paul as "the founder" and Paul just kind of went with it. It was a small moment but these sorts of details matter because they can contribute to unintended historical revisionism.

A YouTube annotation overlay might be appreciated by the other founders.

He doesn't sound sorry =p

But if he really did "choose" the other guys, then maybe calling him the founder isn't so wrong.

Could someone please write a synopsis of this?

Great startup idea! Could be a fun weekend project.

How much are you all willing to bid? I'll do it for $10. That's cheaper than any AI on the market.

He seems to be talking about Viaweb in the point you link to here?

I'll chip in $1 for this.
