Would you be interested in learning more about the Collison brothers (Stripe), Peter Norvig, Edward Tufte, Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston (Y Combinator) and Aaron Swartz( Reddit)- or do you have other ideas for content you would like to cover?

Tufte claims : "Indeed, at times, the more intense the detail, the greater the clarity and understanding—because meaning and reasoning are contextual. Less is a bore."

What is your view? Do you crave more complexity?
