From the sound of things, the real takeaway for startup baby and his/her startup dad from Saturday's Startup School '08 at Stanford should be David Heinemeier Hansson's talk.
Hansson's a partner at 37signals.com and the creator of the Ruby on Rails framework for web development. He argues very cogently for using the web to make a living, not a killing. And as Wired reports, 37signals recently instituted a 4-day, 32-hour work week. And is doing just fine, thank you.
