What Paul Graham actually said

  1. Paul Graham Co-founder of Y Combinator and Viaweb
    At the far end of the curve, incremental effort is a bargain. All the more so because there's less competition at the far end — and not just for the obvious reason that it's hard to do something exceptionally well, but also because people find the prospect so intimidating that few even try.
