It's good to work for someone else. Because then you appreciate it more when you are an entrepreneur.

My own personal dream is that the majority of the web runs on open source software.

There's no financial aspect to stats.

For me, it always comes back to the blogger, the author, the designer, the developer. You build software for that core individual person, and then smart organisations adopt it and dumb organisations die.

One thing about open source is that even the failures contribute to the next thing that comes up. Unlike a company that could spend a million dollars in two years and fail and there's nothing really to show for it, if you spend a million dollars on open source, you probably have something amazing that other people can build on.

Akismet started on a $70 dollar-a-month server. Anyone can scrape together $70.

I don't care how someone lives or how good their spoken English is. I do all of my interviews on Skype text chat - all that matters is their work.
