Weekly Podcast Pick #03
Back when podcasts first sparked my interest in 2004, there was a this one particular podcast (it is actually just a recorded lecture) that launched my interest in programming to higher levels to the point that I wanted to actually be one.
Paul Graham, a renowned hacker, writer and entrepreneur author of Hackers and Painters and his speech (at the Open Source Convention (OSCON) 2004) on how to treat great hackers was quite inspiring to me. In it he describes what differentiates a good hacker to a great hacker and what a business needs to do to keep them around. Listen and enjoy this 30 minute podcast. There is also a written version on Paul Graham’s website linked here.
More info on Paul Graham here
Another recording for his book here.
Edit: Added some wikipedia links, as well as a link to another Hackers and Painters podcast.
