Imagine everone would follow this conservative view on optimal resource allocation - we wouldn't have none of the BSDs, no Linux, nothing open source/ free software at all. Windows wouldn't have been forced to modernize, instead we would probably all use a late descendent of windows 95. The open web probably wouldn't exist, instead we would all use AOL or one or two other private network providers, paying roaming fees wor inter-network communication.

I absolutely applaud people sinking their minds into interesting niche projects like these. You never know the macro results 10 years down the road.

Do you mean to imply that projects with only a handful of people are worthless? That's how I read it. You might want to rephrase it if you don't mean that?

He's right, GP sounds condescending.
