I started to have a difficult time with Graham's essay about the point where he started drawing a line between the "caged animals" working for other people, and Founders of Important Entrepreneurial Powerhouses. Those seem to be his options for bad vs. good. But as it happens, he works at one of the largest incubators in the country. So he gets partial points in my book. <A href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001080.html">Somewhat fewer from others</a>, who summarize the essay's stance as "I work with young startup founders in their twenties. They're geniuses, and play by their own rules. Oh... you haven't founded a company? You suck." But that could all be poor rhetorical framing. Yes and no.
