The interesting thing is I counted about 17 instances of "make something people want" in pg's essays and the number of times the individual words are used is much much higher:
742 make
753 something
1589 people
719 want
fyi, here's the Ruby code for grabbing the text of all the essays:
require 'open-uri'
require 'hpricot'
text = ""
listing = Hpricot(open("http://www.paulgraham.com/articles.html"))
(listing/"font"/"a").each do |a|
url = a.attributes["href"]
puts url
essay = Hpricot(open("http://www.paulgraham.com/"+url))
essay.search("script").remove
essay.search("link").remove
essay.search("meta").remove
essay.search("style").remove
text += essay.inner_text.gsub(/[\n\r]/, " ") + " "
end
File.open("pg.txt", 'w') { |f| f.write(text) }
