So, this would be a brief summary of what he said:
1)Focus on your strengths
2)What you get from working your ass off is worthwhile,nothing else.
3)You cant be successful always
4)Humility is important
5)Strive for excellence
6)Never give up
7)Dont sacrifice values
What is interesting that you could come up with a set of opposing points for most of his "lessons", and sound plausible:
1)A true hacker has works on multiple languages,platform- Be a "Rockstar" Generalist
2)Laziness,Impatience,Hubris are the hallmark of a hacker. Note Laziness comes first :)
3)You cant be successful always- Nobody denied that!
4)If you get rich, you shouldnt be ashamed of it.
5)Strive for excellence-no debating that.
6)Fail fast, Fail often .
7)Startup and values- Zynga? Facebook? I remember reading a thread of ethics in startups on HN, and one person questioning somebody how he managed to get a good nigh's sleep, after what he had done.
