An interview with Paul Graham on writing
Only Paul Graham and the more fanatic acolytes believe Paul Graham is a good writer ("...and Paul Graham is having second thoughts", the joke usually goes on. But PG has only ever had one thought, and LISP isn't that great).Seriously: in comparison to, say, Scott Alexander, I don't see a single novel idea in Graham's Oeuvre. Mix any current text generator with the opinions of some 1980s teen just discovering Ayn Rand-style libertarianism, and it will fill as many pages as you want with the expected drivel, only in superior prose.
