have you seen nassim taleb's recent comments about this guy? Taleb while harsh, always is truthful to the truth. I'm too young to know the story behind Hacker News and ycombinator, but reading some of the recent stuff makes me question prevailing sentiments about PG.

How about an excercise in writing? Instead of referring to "comments" by someone else, tell us your own thoughts. What is the prevailing sentiment you see? And how do you question it?

I think they're both egomaniacs who treat their own word as gospel. PG is just less brash about it, so comes off as more "reasonable" to many. I think they're both just prime examples of survivorship bias and I try to avoid any of their opinions at all times. Of course, sometimes curiosity takes over, but I never leave feeling good after reading anything they have to say.

read all of PG's stuff.. promise you will think otherwise. Taleb's books is hilarious and insightful but PG's essays convey those same truths and many more in a much more succinct format.
