Paul Graham in How to start a startup:
“Ever notice how much easier it is to hack at home than at work? So why not make work more like home?”
“I think hiring people is the worst thing a company can do. To start with, people are a recurring expense, which is the worst kind. [...] worst of all, they slow you down: instead of sticking your head in someone’s office and checking out an idea with them, eight people have to have a meeting about it.”
