I guess PG is a genius. I realized a bit painfully, that I may be much mediocre in comparison. I know comparison is wrong&#x2F;etc. But what the heck?<p>I also wonder now, that what I think (and say to friends) of as my life style business tech startup, is actually a Zombie? Did we really manage to hit the magic break even (revenue = comfortable salary + expenses). Hmm...But something in me tells me that, there&#x27;s more to it, as my effort has been ongoing, although its little less than thrice of the time PG spent on Viaweb.<p>One motivation, which also contributes to make me keep working in it, is my earlier partners, who still have a stake, and they contributed a lot, to this in the early years. Somehow, there&#x27;s a feeling in me that they should get a good return on that effort. Which also means that my returns will be more, so its not a pure selfless line of thought there.<p>Just some musings, after reading the very good interview transcript. And just want to assure that there is no irony&#x2F;sarcasm in my post (I think, it may come across like that in the early part). And also no &quot;sympathy&quot; replies please. As I actually feel quite upbeat about things.<p>Apologies for being tangential (if I have been), just felt like writing this.
