quick makers, someone create a bot to check the Paul graham bot for accuracy!

"I don't know where you get these quotes, but they're often full of small piss-takes" - @paulg

You said this during a talk though I believe

PG, just by replying to these tweets, you're giving this account momentum. Since I follow you, it shows up in my feed, as I imagine it does in many other's.

When taken out of context from your talk, it is odd. I think you were advising entrepreneurs not to try and learn the mechanics of a startup but to focus on building something users want and how FB first incorporated in Florida or something..

I think you said it in one of the Stanford lectures

Surprising nobody just did what you recommended. The full quote is from http://paulgraham.com/before.html : "Mark Zuckerberg didn't succeed because he was an expert on startups. He succeeded despite being a complete noob at startups, because he understood his users really well."

....”Because he understood his users really well”- I think that was the point of the statement in the first place.

This is my fault Paul (@george__mack). I've put the account on pause until I fix this. The source of the problem was a medium article that compiled your quotes, which I used as an additional source of quotes for the bot.
