There are factors that make me think it is more likely than not (just scrolled through the comment history, don't feel like linking everything) that he is pg.

- Is bolded on pg's page

- Mentions yoga

- Talks about Lisp often

- Talks about YC often

- Talks about kids

- Links to Paul Graham's website

- Says he uses vi

- Writes exactly like you would expect pg to write




I agree that this person is trying very very hard to sound like pg ! You could be right actually. Could still be a "wannabe" though.


I'm sophisticately sure they are not. They recommend a founder to ask users directly what they will pay for.

Is that what PG would say?


Of course. Why wouldn’t he? That’s sound advice.


YC startup videos recommend not asking users directly what they will pay for.

Users freq. say they will pay for something but back down against other things.



Wow, what an odd thing to get so worked up about.
