lay off Paul, he's not making an arguement here that one is better than the other, he's arguing that the press wants stories that pull readership. Writing that Instagram sold for $1B is more interesting than someone that makes a few million in profit a year and has 4 day work weeks.

I myself side with the 37 signals guys that profit is king, but that takes nothing away from my friends that are in start ups chasing big coin.

Either is a viable strategy and i think it's terrible that this community doesnt allow both to co-exist as viable options.
