Brilliant piece; thanks for posting it again so many years later. It's as relevant as ever.


This article neither asks that question nor answers it.

It just espouses a simplistic "Stick to your principals! Have a plan! Work hard! Spend your time wisely!" set of life values - which aren't bad in and of themselves but are pretty bland advice.

Personally, I won't measure my life because in order to do so it must be over, and I will at that point be dead.


I read this back in 2012. I thought some of the advice was suspect since it was faith based but overall a lot of the ideas are pretty good practices to undertake. They've served me well in the past few years. I think the idea of helping someone new everyday is a pretty good idea that is mutually beneficial to everyone involved.


When Intel went for the "bottom of the market" with Celeron I don't think they went far enough down and now ARM has become a serious threat.


good book, but somewhat confused why it would be particularly relevant now?!


isn't this relevant everyday?


For what it's worth, this article is from 2010. (How does one indicate that this should be added to the title? Does one do it through a comment like so, or is there a separate button to click somewhere?)


A comment in the thread, or an email to hn@ycombinator.com if you want to be sure we know about it.
