Benioff is eccentric and maybe well-meaning but I can't help noticing his oscillations coincide with whatever side has the upper hand. - Paul Graham

I don't mind when people are unambitious. It's up to each person to decide that. But it bugs me when the people who aren't ambitious try to bring down those who are.

In office hours with startups I often try to figure out a secret weapon they can use to protect themselves from competitors. Today to my delight I talked to one whose most natural secret weapon was to be genuinely benevolent.

For the foreseeable future, everything about starting a startup, both good and bad, will be accentuated. It will be even harder to figure out what to do, but the founders who get it right will be able to create amazing things even faster than they could before.
