Also known as the Sermon on the 'Cloud'. Seriously though, good interview, seems like a really great guy.

#4That white noise sound in the background was extremely annoying. Great interview though, its always fun to listen to him talk. The interviewer was kind of awkward but all in good fun

#5I really like the bits of historical interest that comes out in the interview, naval battles and Archimedes- you get the sense that he just loves learning, even if it's not "useful" knowledge. What I like most is how that just comes out as supplementary asides, reinforcing a point or framing a metaphor.
Definitely the kind of guy you could just talk to for hours.

#6I wish Paul would give posting on hn another shot. I'm sure he's busy, but I always thought he had interesting perspectives even if I didn't always agree.

Completely agree. The most useful advisors I've had in business and startups, always find the perfect analogy for a situation or problem, and break it down. Paul has this amazing ability.

#8Love the idea of owning consumer and then being "upwind" from enterprise. From my experience in the dev tools space, that's exactly the pattern we've been seeing.

He still does post interesting things (along with many other smart people like patrick collison, sam altman, etc.). They just post on Twitter instead.
