You know if there was ever a comment that showed how much Hacker News has been taken over by the same MBA idiots who ruin everything this is it.


I'm a developer and have only marginal interest in the business side of things, but give credit where credit is due. Without the financial infrastructure to fund research and R&D, none of modern computing is possible. Fabricating silicon chips or making even moderately complex software is basically a game of numbers with a huge up-front cost that only pays off when you can make (and sell) thousands of the things.

Without somebody selling this stuff computing would remain relegated to huge rooms in Universities.


And yet you like having a computer on your desk, a laptop on your lap etc. Sold by these "MBA idiots".

Instead of, you know, going all Woz and building one from scratch --which you couldn't even do with modern components, the best you could do would be assembling ready made parts.

Also, Jobs an "MBA idiot"? He never had an MBA to begin with, and as for the idiot part, well, I for one beg to differ.
