I attended Startup School, and felt Andy's recap did justice to the talks he chose to cover; however, as he said, there's lots more to learn by watching the justin.tv video archives. Two things I absolutely loved that Andy didn't mention:<p>1) Tom Preston Warner's focus on "optimizing for happiness instead of money". Watching the archives out of order won't give the same feeling as being there in person, but Tom's talk provided a very, very different point of view from the other 10 speakers (bootstrapping vs. angel/VC funding). Also, aside from Startup School, my impression of Tom is that he has very strong convictions about his ideals and is extremely hard-working. He was at the airbnb party after Startup School, and was inside talking to people, then moved outside - presumably because it was too loud inside to really converse effectively without yelling. I hadn't seen him for a while before I left, then saw he was still outside talking at ~12:30. He's now answering questions "all day" today on HN at <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1804443" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1804443</a><p>2) Brian Chesky was also one of my favorite speakers. I think his talk showed a great understanding of the audience. A lot of questions posed to the speakers focused on how to grow a startup -- Brian Chesky's entire talk was about how airbnb did that.
