One of the things I've liked about PG and his writing is that I get a sense of a hacker figuring out enough business stuff to make a go of it, and consequently flipping the company: as a hacker, he was never going to want to stay on the business side anyway. PG strikes me as a "builder" - someone with lots of technical ability who goes out and creates things. Incidentally, I also see myself as being more along those lines than a "business guy".

"Entrepreneurs" on the other hand, are those "wheeler dealer" type of guys who are really good at putting together various people and other aspects of a business. They are kind of technical, but not the guys who go out and build something really cool themselves. They're the classic business starters, in my opinion.

So - what do you guys think of "builders" vs "entrepreneurs" in this day and age?
