As great as the endless possibilities software offers are, it really obscures the amount of effort necessary to bring real world products to life. The jump in hubris from “Great, I can code!” to “Well, I could build a tool to do that, so no one deserves to make a living/profit/native app/business doing it” is waaaay too prevalent around here. Of course none of the people who say such things could actually do so. Instead, they continue to post the aforementioned type of comment along with the following: - Ask HN: Where are all the profitable ideas?
- Show HN: I built some half-assed idea that no one will ever use to learn the latest technology fad.
- Who’s Hiring: I hate my job at some random SaaS firm because I hypocritically don’t assign worth to building software. Anyhow, where is this mythical weather widget getting its data? How reliable are its forecasts? What makes it better than the tools Apple/Google build into their OSes after spending millions acquiring formerly indie weather tools? |
