I’ve just read through Paul Graham’s latest essay, and as usual, I agree with 95% of it. Subconciously I think knew most of what he says already, but he does a great job of distilling the essential nature of the world into an easily digested form.

If you’ve never read any of his other essays, check them out. Particular favourites of mine are: How to Make Wealth, How to Start a Startup, What Business Can Learn from Open Source (this one had significant influence on me leaving corporate employment – there were of course, several other factors involved), and What Languages Fix (interesting and funny).
