Writing and one-person business
Dan Koe
Useful to study for the way a broad worldview can become writing, products, and a recognizable internet home without starting from a narrow niche.
People
People worth studying.
A working list, not a hall of fame. I am interested in how people think, publish, build, sell, and compound.
Simple personal site
Derek Sivers
Useful to study because the site feels like a complete personal archive: books, articles, projects, notes, contact, and current interests in one place.
Essays
Paul Graham
Useful to study because the writing archive is almost aggressively simple. The essays are the product.
