Comment on Ask HN: Ph.D. vs Startup skillsetparent

Comments

"Finishing what you start."

Is that really an intrinsically virtuous trait? I think it would be better stated as: Stick with it as long as the expected utility outweighs the opportunity costs, and don't let temporary challenges and random emotional swings affect your estimate of the expected utility.

I wasn't claiming it's intrinsically virtuous, just that it's also something you need in a startup.
