Paul Graham on Startup Ideas

Paul has a new post on Startup Ideas. I quickly went over it. I scrolled to the end to see the conclusion. As a great writer, Paul doesn't disappoint me there. He does have a conclusion and I happen to like it too:

It seems like it violates some kind of conservation law, but there it is: the best way to get a "million dollar idea" is just to do what hackers enjoy doing anyway.

How sweet? You just do what you enjoy doing the most (and whether startup or not, you will be happy*).

Is Good Good Enough?

"Good is good, right?" Sun propaganda aside, I don't think good enough is good enough. I'd rather strive for (insanely) great.
