Start a tweet with @letpgfinish, and it will be finished as if by Paul Graham himself.<p>This was a weekend project I undertook with a couple of friends just for fun. The original one was @letkanyefinish, so you might like to try that out too... in fact, it seems to work much better (funnily enough, there's a definite inverse relationship between literacy of bot and literacy of its human counterpart).<p>Anyway, the output is based on pg's essays and various tweets/quotes. Having used HN silently for a while, we thought we'd share this - so hope you enjoy :)
this is pretty good given the length for the return message is limited & answers are (usually) long.<p><pre><code> me: What should I do first?
pgsays: what should I do first? - Get ramen profitable.
me: Lisp
pgsays: 'lisp programmers divide up their minds,
and excessive dilution in series A stage.'
me: Computer language
pgsays: 'computer language choice for founders
to read is Dale Carnegie's How to hack
also means that when you can tell them they'
me: hackers, geeks & nerds
pgsays: 'hackers, geeks &amp; nerds should be
just as worried about premature design
- designing too early what a program
should do'</code></pre>
