@paulg I'm curious, which specific parts were controversial? Most of it seems obvious in hindsight. -
@cperciva The part about startup hubs persisting, and in particular the implication that one should move. -
@paulg I'm sure the bay area could fail by making housing even more expensive but that would just push startups to the closest cheap locale.

@paulg Q2) What changes in character as startups have to survive in a crowded environment? Wouldn't the gap to growth stage become wider? -
@carribeiro Like I said, you can't sit on an idea. But once you start execution looks the same.

@paulg and the web design from 1997 -
@SaadZaeem That is a remarkably accurate guess. I think that is the exact year. -
@paulg started my web design company around then, haha

@paulg I wonder how you look at the predictions about schools--it seems elite schools continue to play a huge role in who gets hired/funded.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
