##Paul Graham是谁?
该怎样介绍Paul Graham这位智者呢?
一个朴实的介绍,或许可以参考Paul Graham个人网站的自我简介,散文作家,程序员和投资者。

在1995年,他和Robert Morris(MIT著名教授)开发了世界上第一个基于web的程序:Viaweb,1998年被雅虎收购。2002年,他描述了一个简单的垃圾邮件过滤器统计算法,促进了目前广为流行的垃圾邮件过滤器的诞生。2005年,他作为创始人之一,创办了Y Combinator。
Paul Graham与Robert Morris是Lisp方言ARC语言的开发者。他也是On Lisp (Prentice Hall, 1993), ANSI Common Lisp (Prentice Hall, 1995)与Hackers & Painters (O'Reilly, 2004)三本书的作者。曾获得美国康乃尔大学学士学位,哈佛大学计算机博士学位,并曾在罗德岛设计学院与佛罗伦萨国立美术学院学习画画。

##黑客与画家
《黑客与画家》,Paul Graham所著,由阮一峰翻译。高质量的原著加上优雅的中译,好评如潮的一本书。之前我在《三十而立,小心忽悠》中的评价如下:
作者试图回答的问题:如何好奇地探索这个世界,做喜欢的事情,并阳光地获取财富?
作者回答得怎么样:非常棒
评价:创业的书,
或讲究细节,比如如何撰写商务计划书;
或摆资历,比如我的成功如何复制;
或讲大道理,用一个术语串起整本书,你不服还不行,比如长尾比如蓝海比如紫牛;
或写小说,比如如何从小秘到跨国公司CEO;或吹牛,比如全**最穷小伙子如何发财。
有没有一本,心平气和,不讲细节不摆资历不讲大道理不写小说不吹牛的创业书呢?
有,这就是Paul Graham的文集——《黑客与画家》。
从第一章开始,就会心一笑,找到了自己的影子。不过试图马上寻找到发财之道的读者,可能会失望了。
与其说作者是在谈编程,谈创业,谈商业模式,还不如说作者在回答:如何好奇地探索这个世界,并通过做自己喜欢的事情,阳光地获取财富?
关于Paul Graham的这本书,再多文字的摘用也是一种侮辱。实在没时间的读者,就功利地选择第六章《如何创造财富》与第九章《设计者的品味》入手吧。
