Yeah I agree. There's also a general proclivity to discount boring, but effective solutions to problems.

I'm writing a hotel property management system right now for a hotel chain. In its first year, it will move more money than most startups will make in their lifetimes. Somehow, that isn't "cool", though.

You know, a bishop is stronger than a pawn, but a bishop never can became a queen, while a pawn has a slim but real chance.

Hence be the boring bishops and exciting pawns paradox.
