Citations de Paul Graham, que j'ai eu le plaisir d'écouter en personne au MIT SpamConference il y a deux ans. Oui, elles sont en anglais: je préfère ne pas les dénaturer en les traduisant. [via]

"Someone who proposes to run Windows on servers ought to be prepared to explain what they know about servers that Google and Yahoo don't know."

"What business ought to be getting out of open source isn't the software, but the process."

"The average office environment is to productivity what flames painted on the side of a car are to speed."

"The reasons companies have fixed hours is that they can't measure productivity. The idea is that if you can't make people work, you can at least prevent them from having fun. If they're not having fun, they must be working!"

- Paul Graham
