Are you suggesting that Paul Graham is a pseudo intellectual? Since when?

Forever? His writing since 20 years ago is shallow and useless.

Wow... hot take

Pretty common take amongst the non-white-men of tech ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And let's imagine an alternative world where Paul Graham wasn't a straight, white man. If you'll lend me a moment of intellectual honesty, I'm sure all these detractors you speak of would be whistling a different tune. No?

Nope. His blind spot is specifically around how things affect people who aren’t rich white men. Check out, for example, this thread of vacuous “insights.”https://twitter.com/dellsystem/status/1174130397992472577?s=21 …

I would very much like an alternative.

This seems like a natural project for Glitch, the company.

I think we’re far too early along to go off on tangents like that, but I’d be lying if I said the thought never occurred to me.

That makes sense. I see Glitch representing a better vision/lens of what tech can be and making that POV tangible would be quite powerful.

I hope we can get there.

I just read http://n-gate.com . You might like it Sarah.

This is awesome. The font is not. :D

Agreed! I suggest we read the RSS feed directly, so that we can pick a better font.

Not to mention the impressive quality they all have: being able to build everything someone else has done, in a day or less
