The irony is that Sahil's posts are increasingly about something other than leverage. They are becoming more about stating completely obvious startup/entrepreneur bait. "We love leverage", "pivoting is hard", "think small". We'd do better to actually exercise our leverage rather than continue to read his inane and obvious drivel.

Upvoted for being honest!

I try to write a lot knowing that some of what I write will be obvious to some people. It's tough to know what is obvious to others or not until you release it.

Derek Sivers puts it nicely: http://sivers.org/obvious

I do know that each of my posts results in a lot of positive emails and tweets. But, I respect your opinion and do agree that building stuff is almost always better than reading my blog posts!

(though hopefully reading my blog posts will help people do that, and anecdotally it has)

BTW, I do hope you continue to work on your blog and, more importantly, on your philosophy of getting stuff done.
Dude, he's 19. Let him have off-days.
I don't think this is an off-day for me. I also don't think my age is relevant to whether or not he thinks my posts are drivel :)
