You Weren't Meant to Have a Boss
Topic: Business 12:45 pm EDT, Mar 21, 2008

It's not so much that there's something special about founders as that there's something missing in the lives of employees.

An obstacle downstream propagates upstream. If you're not allowed to implement new ideas, you stop having them. And vice versa: when you can do whatever you want, you have more ideas about what to do. So working for yourself makes your brain more powerful in the same way a low-restriction exhaust system makes an engine more powerful.

This is why grad school was so much better than work is now. Then, I get to pick projects, manage and engineer them myself, and do my own marketing. Now, I do one little piece of nothing on a project which will probably get re-engineered by my manager next week.

And, of course, there was more drinking then. :-)
