However, I personally favor DHH's approach to business, as this is exactly how I see my own endeavors playing out. Though, I wouldn't necessarily say that PG is endorsing profitable business per se. Companies built to flip are fine, but they aren't the kind of company I would want to create or work for. That’s a really good point.

If you like operating the business, keep doing it and outsource the boring stuff if you wanna. If you want to and can cash out and move on to something else, that's a great achievement as well. Both these guys have been wildly successful in their own ways, so I don't see it as an either/or scenerio really.Personally I'd rather be Paul Graham; he's much more rich and a better writer to boot.
