I think it is more than just money. Having a hand in steering the ship that they think will change the world is pretty attractive. I came out of retirement just to watch the specta…

It has made me stop using Google and StackOverflow. I can look most things up quickly, not rubber duck with other people, and thus I am more efficient. It also it is good at spotti…

Why not pin your business model as the top post for awhile until it catches on?
