I believe the point of the question was to see if I had heard of him, not necessarily if I agree or read his blog.

The question asked said "#startups" so I assumed it was referring to hiring founders or founding employees (your first employees). Founding employees should have similar qualities as the founders. They could very well have started their own company if they didn't come join your startup.

"Founding employees should have similar qualities as the founders."

Why in the world would you want that? I wouldn't think even two co-founders should be particularly similar. They need to mesh well certainly, but compatibility is often inversely correlated to similarity, especially if you need an A-type leader. Could you imagine a steve jobs starting a company with another steve jobs, instead of a woz?
