The title is stolen from paul grahams article -> (http://www.paulgraham.com/start.html). I live in Australia and like earlier mentioned we do have some startup talks that i have been introduced to but not as much as there would be in the US. This is why i rely alot on youtube videos, articles and friends that do have their ears constantly to the floor when it comes to the latest information regarding different talks.
This information from paul graham is old, published 2005 to be precise, its long but i still enjoyed reading the article. It provides the tiny bit if information you need to know so that you know how to progress and what to ask/do next. You dont know what you dont know and atleast the article fixes this problem to some extent by providing a high level overview of startup architecture.
I know how to develop and have some understanding of technology, but as someone who enjoys technology my business skills are mainly around common sense and basic rules (and what i read in articles etc), nothing concrete or solid. I do plan to attend a school that could teach me about business in detail and to experience this whole new area (hopefully somewhere in the us) if all goes to plan and that is why when i read a specific passage from paul grahams article i thought it was quite true and i firmly agree :
The rulers of the technology business tend to come from technology, not business. So if you want to invest two years in something that will help you succeed in business, the evidence suggests you'd do better to learn how to hack than get an MBA.
Thats about it, started first day of new job yesterday, what can i say, yeh its work, whatever ... my mother told me not to say anything if there was nothing nice to say ... :)
