Aaron Swartz: «Come see us»
Aaron (uno de mis héroes menores y fuente de envidia menor) cuenta: «As I leave, my roommates ask where I am going. ‘Well, the least impressive answer is that I’m interviewing for a summer job. The most impressive answer is that I’m getting funding for a startup company.’ ‘Actually, you could make it more impressive,’ Seth says. ‘You could tell them that the guy you’re getting startup money from is a famous programmer and author of a popular book and already thinks that your idea is worthwhile.’ ‘Yeah,’ I say, ‘but they won’t know who that is.'»

Ese «quién» es Paul Graham. Y Combinator les da cash para su nuevo startup. Envidia+++++++

Savre, dime esa frase de la envida otra vez…

Otra cita memorable
Pero esta no se puede traducir:

«Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don’t turn up at all.»
– Sam Ewing

Carambas, muchas veces encajo en el último grupo. :(
