In the back of my mind, I’ve seen cases where new startup advice pales in comparison to older advice
Silicon Valley is in love with the new, so I understand this dynamic. The solo case that made this issue come to the forefront of my mind is this CS 183b lecture. Lecture #3.

#CS183b, Lecture3 – How to Start a Startup {2014, sept 30} youtu.be/ii1jcLg-eIQ

Compare that keynote at CS 183b, Stanford University, where PG argues 4.5 times to NOT do a startup…
…to this Paul Graham video (2008)
The 2008 keynote is remarkably upbeat, light and fluffy. 2014’s lens was was skewed by seeing all of us at Stanford’s Nvidia as his children. PG even went as far as to say, “This is advice I’d give my two year-old.”
Causation and Correlation: it led to 13 questions that all had zero to do with the class focus: “How to Start a Startup”
