Graphic Objects By Paul Graham, May 07, 2007 A graphic interface bypasses the verbal and appeals directly to the visual Paul Graham is an essayist, programmer, and programming language designer. He can be contacted at www.paulgraham.com/. This classic article first appeared in AI Expert, October 1988. A user interface is an unusual sort of program because its success depends on emotional appeal. E
An Alternative Theory of Unions
May 2007 People who worry about the increasing gap between rich and poor generally look back on the mid twentieth century as a golden age. In those days we had a large number of high-paying union manufacturing jobs that boosted the median income. I wouldn't quite call the high-paying union job a myth, but I think people who dwell on it are reading too much into it. Oddly enough, it was working wit
Microsoft is Dead
April 2007 A few days ago I suddenly realized Microsoft was dead. I was talking to a young startup founder about how Google was different from Yahoo. I said that Yahoo had been warped from the start by their fear of Microsoft. That was why they'd positioned themselves as a "media company" instead of a technology company. Then I looked at his face and realized he didn't understand. It was as if I'd

スタートアップの始め方
Paul Graham / 青木靖 訳 2005年3月 (このエッセイはハーバードコンピュータ協会での講演を元にしている。) 成功するスタートアップを作るには3つのことが必要になる。優れた人たちと始めること、顧客が実際に欲しがるものを作ること、可能な限りわずかの金しか使わないこと。失敗するスタートアップのほとんどは、これらのうちのどれかをやり損ねたために失敗している。この3つをちゃんとやったスタートアップはたぶん成功するだろう。 そしてこれは、考えてみればわくわくさせられることだ。何しろ3つとも実行可能なことだからだ。困難ではあるが、実行可能だ。そしてスタートアップが成功すれば、創業者は通常金持ちになる。それはつまり金持ちになるということもまた、実行可能ということだ。困難ではあるが、実行可能なのだ。 スタートアップについて伝えたいメッセージが１つあるとしたら、これがそうだ。スタートアップに
創業者に学ぶ
Paul Graham / 青木靖 訳 2007年2月 (ジェシカ・リビングストンのFounders at Workへの序文。) 短距離走者というのはスターティングブロックから飛び出してすぐ最高のスピードに達し、レースの残りはスローダウンしていくように見える。勝つのは一番スローダウンしなかった者だ。多くのスタートアップもまた、そのような動きをする。通常最も生産的なのは一番始めの時期 であり、それは彼らが本当に大きなアイデアを持っているときだ。社員の100%がスティーブ・ジョブズやスティーブ・ウォズニアックで占められていた頃のAppleがどんなだったか想像してみるといい。 この時期のスタートアップで特筆すべきなのは、ビジネスがどのようなものかについて多くの人が持つイメージとはまったくかけ離れているということだ。みんなの頭の中を覗いてみて(あるいはストックフォトコレクションを眺めて)、 ｢ビジ
How Art Can Be Good
December 2006 I grew up believing that taste is just a matter of personal preference. Each person has things they like, but no one's preferences are any better than anyone else's. There is no such thing as good taste. Like a lot of things I grew up believing, this turns out to be false, and I'm going to try to explain why. One problem with saying there's no such thing as good taste is that it also

Mind the Gap
May 2004 When people care enough about something to do it well, those who do it best tend to be far better than everyone else. There's a huge gap between Leonardo and second-rate contemporaries like Borgognone. You see the same gap between Raymond Chandler and the average writer of detective novels. A top-ranked professional chess player could play ten thousand games against an ordinary club playe
Viaweb FAQ
How did the editor handle client sessions? There was one Lisp process for each user. When someone logged in to edit their site, we'd start up a new process and load all their data into memory. From that point they had an ongoing conversation with that process. Because everything was already loaded into memory, we never had to read anything from disk or start up a process to respond to an HTTP requ

The Power of the Marginal
June 2006 (This essay is derived from talks at Usenix 2006 and Railsconf 2006.) A couple years ago my friend Trevor and I went to look at the Apple garage. As we stood there, he said that as a kid growing up in Saskatchewan he'd been amazed at the dedication Jobs and Wozniak must have had to work in a garage. "Those guys must have been freezing!" That's one of California's hidden advantages: the m
Why Startups Condense in America
May 2006 (This essay is derived from a keynote at Xtech.) Startups happen in clusters. There are a lot of them in Silicon Valley and Boston, and few in Chicago or Miami. A country that wants startups will probably also have to reproduce whatever makes these clusters form. I've claimed that the recipe is a great university near a town smart people like. If you set up those conditions within the US,
How to Be Silicon Valley
May 2006 (This essay is derived from a keynote at Xtech.) Could you reproduce Silicon Valley elsewhere, or is there something unique about it? It wouldn't be surprising if it were hard to reproduce in other countries, because you couldn't reproduce it in most of the US either. What does it take to make a silicon valley even here? What it takes is the right people. If you could get the right ten th
Techbert on Website development and marketing.: 10 differences between Joel Spolsky & Paul Graham.

帰省、寿司、陶芸体験 8/13（火） 妻の実家の墓参りへ行き、俺の実家へ帰省。風呂に入る前に子供達と外で水鉄砲で水を掛け合いびしょ濡れになる。最後のほうはどうにでもなれと思い、ホースやバケツで直接水をかけ合う。久しぶりの大胆な遊び方に子供たちは大声をあげながら騒いでいるが、田…
