2 posts tagged "Paul Graham".
English-born programmer, essayist, and investor (born 1964) who co-founded Viaweb, then the startup accelerator Y Combinator, which seeded companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Dropbox. He is equally known for his essays at paulgraham.com, clear and contrarian pieces on startups, creativity, writing, and how to do ambitious work. Essays like "How to Do What You Love" and "Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule" prize deep work and the cultivation of genuine productivity. A formative influence on startup culture alongside Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, his plainspoken style is a model for the blog's own essayistic ambitions.
