Hackers and Painters by Paul Graham
Hackers & Painters: Big Ideas from the Computer Age by Paul Graham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Enjoyed reading Paul Graham's essays. It is quite dated, for example, with lots of references to the Web in the 1990s and 2000s, a time when Yahoo was a prominent .com company. Some of his opinions on wealth creation are still applicable in 2020. However, we have to read his essays with plenty of skepticism. He sings praise for Lisp and instills some desire in the reader to study Lisp and start a startup.
