A few subtleties i think was missed in tech founders' accents post by Paul Graham and antirez. http://anandjeyahar.com/2013/09/04/accents-and-its-effect-in-the-techfounderstartup-world/ . I am rather emotionally close/involved to the subject, so would be happy to know the gaps and biases in my reasoning any of you point out.

Regards, Anand

I can't even get past the introduction:

  1. your header should not take up an entire screen
  2. "its", not "it's"
  3. you capitalize 'i' when it's a pronoun
  4. you punctuate the end of sentences, even in parenthetical comments
  5. spaces are a Good Thing

You are the reason Paul Graham made that comment.

6. Line breaks should go in between paragraphs, not in between sentences in a paragraph. This is prose, not free verse.

EDIT: Markdown's auto-numbering of lists is infuriating.

Thanks gwern. I was looking for criticism in the reasoning, but you have a point. I'll clean it up at the earliest opportunity.
