Paul Graham: How to do Great Work
I had a wonderful online moment meeting Paul Graham’s website. I came for the „How to do Great Work“, an essay full of thoughtful advice and interesting thoughts. That kind of wisdom that comes from taking part in the world with an open mind and working hard for several years. Fortunately, Mr Graham took the time to think things through and put them in clear words on his website. He is also founded the Y Combinator and is a very popular and successful programmer and business guy, but I did not know that, and actually it did not matter to me.
It shocked me how bland and technically outdated his website is. Table layouts? Text as images? Is it 1995 again? More shocking: It does not matter. I read four more of his essays, despite the boring typography, layout and an unusual lack of imagery.
Do not overthink and over-engineer your websites, people. Content is king!
Adam Stoddard’s website surprised me with random background graphics completing the clean typography: aaadaaam.com* The color theme picker is also a nice touch.
Manuel Moreale started a newsletter highlighting wonderful human beings and their blogs each week:
Sebastian Abboud is my favourite graphic artist at the moment. So playfully happy, slightly retro and slightly weird. www.instagram.com/p/CnhsfELvojn*
