244 | comment | greendestiny | "2007-02-21T03:49:16" | null | A PhD is really a lot of grind especially at the end. I don't think you can really do both a startup and a PhD well at the same time.

So, for the time-being, I'm working at night on the tools and technologies that I think I want to use, so that I'll be ready once I've saved enough dough (and karma with the family, given the probable time commitment) to self-finance for 6 months.

271 | comment | JMiao | "2007-02-21T08:06:46" | null | At no disrespect to Evan Williams, I think the nail went into the coffin for Odeo when its own creators weren't its best users, i.e. they didn't podcast themselves, so their podcasting tools failed to deliver for the rest of the podcasting community.
Coming out of college, I had a few friends ask if I wanted to join their startup. I ended up politely declining on the grounds that I simply wouldn't have been a "good user" of what their team was trying to build. I essentially told them, "How can I understand and champion our users if I'm not a user myself?"
This same philosophy applied when I had to turn down Microsoft one summer because I felt I wouldn't be happy and, therefore, couldn't give my best working on a product that I didn't use. | null | null | 178 | 178 | null | null | null | null |

282 | comment | ced | "2007-02-21T08:51:22" | null | A PhD in physics today opens up some opportunities in the one very specific field that you studied. Getting post-doctoral positions is hard; there isn't that much money floating around. I know that I'm dropping out soon. | null | null | 240 | 227 | null | [

285 | comment | ced | "2007-02-21T08:59:07" | null | I often wonder if there are good opportunities for (non-web) startups in physics/science. The state of programming in there is abysmal, in my experience. There must be thousands of Fortran implementations of finite element codes out there, each with dozens of non-trivial bugs. It's absurd that physicists do so much low-level programming and optimization on their own. | null | null | 227 | 227 | null | null | null | null |

291 | comment | staunch | "2007-02-21T09:53:24" | null | That movie is really great -- the title is perfect. I think it's basically a lesson in what not to do. Two non-hackers start a company and skip the make-a-great-product stage completely. Watching them it feels like borderline fraud.

I bought Spolsky's "Aardvark" documentary and enjoyed it a lot, but I wish it had more YC in it. I wish YC funded two guys to make a documentary about YC. If the guys were good at it maybe they could create a product around that. Maybe something that makes it easy for "normal" people to make documentaries.

One of the main reasons I was visiting Reddit in the beggining, was the high probability to find start-up articles and a place for discussion. So, this site is defenetely going to be my new point of reference, and for lots of others too. | null | null | 189 | 189 | null | [

293 | comment | greendestiny | "2007-02-21T10:35:00" | null | As someone who did a PhD in a creative kind of computer science field and felt frustrated by the success of those who choose more trodden PhD paths - I was going to agree with this. But in start-ups as well as PhDs success is defined by the number of people you give value to not how creative you were.

Okay, that's just not fair. Paul Graham _AND_ Joe Kraus? That's like cheating. How much do I have to pay to have these dinners recorded and published on Google Video? I can't be alone in being willing to pay. (Yeah..I know this is one of the big features of YC so probably not willing to allow recording...*sigh*) | null | null | 278 | 278 | null | null | null | null |

299 | comment | aglarond | "2007-02-21T12:19:53" | null | For those based in Switzerland, one resource could be venturelab.ch - I haven't used it myself, but a quick browse of the website leaves me with some mixed feelings. The business-focus of the site seems to underline the sentiment in the article of the anti-startup attitude in Europe. On the other hand, the "success stories" and comments sprinkled throughout the site show that there is some hope. It would be interesting to attend one of their events, just to see if it's all marketing-speak, or if there's actually anything worthwhile to the initiative. | null | null | 186 | 186 | null | null | null | null |
