??? is this a troll post?

A pie is a physical object which enjoys a barrier to competition by being geographically near the consumer - other pies are not near your mouth.

A pie degrades quickly over time - last month's pie is not a competitor to today's pie.

A pie is destroyed during consumption - the pie your friend ate cannot be then eaten by you, no matter how delicious they say it was.

Software (and especially web/mobile/SaaS) is nothing like pies - your friend eats a delicious piece of software, telecommunicates this to you halfway around the world and you can put down the pie you were eating and instantly eat the same pie as your friend, then tell more friends. Pretty soon, nobody's eating the previous pies.

Maybe it's an actor for a nation state intentionally dropping this disinformation as a false flag to distract the humongous brains of HN!!!
