Basically, if you don't found a company you are dumb.

Because, if you found a company, you will have equity. If you have equity, you can have wealth. Why not have wealth.

Compelling... 4/5 stars

A collection of essays that are thought-provoking and insightful. The author makes nerds look super cool, so a big thumbs up from me. I recommend it to programmers and people interested in computer science. Will reread and write a proper review sometime in the future.

It's an interesting book, and when Graham writes about his own experiences -- it's compelling.

When he writes about why Lisp is a superior language -- it's dubious.

When he writes about what a good hacker looks like -- it's suspiciously self-referential.
