Superficial Intelligence

A few days ago, the TechCrunch40 Conference took place. Of course, I wasn't there. But I've been keeping track through the TechCrunch blog. One of the most interesting sessions I believe was a panel titled "Humble Beginnings". It featured Marc Andreesen, co-founder of Netscape, David Filo, co-founder of Yahoo, and Chad Hurley, co-founder of YouTube. This article gives a summary (almost a transcript actually) of the session. It's great to know how the big guys worked their way from simple ideas to greatly successful companies. It gives hope to the rest of us.
