pg comes off as a great guy during interviews and is clearly intelligent based on his success (YC + others) as well as his essays, but I always kind of wondered if he's just gotten really lucky spotting startup talent, or if he's just firing shots in a barrel hoping to hit something.
2 minutes into his first "office hour" and all of my doubts are out the window. pg really does know what he's doing. He asks questions that seem blatantly obvious, yet nobody else seems to be asking them. He doesn't let something go if he wants to know more - he keeps nagging. He understands how markets work and where people spend money, but also has the technological know-how. I am thoroughly impressed, and can't wait to gather his insight for the next 42 minutes of this video.
