I don't mean to shit on "Makers". In fact the growing popularity of "Makers" is what makes companies like TI and others see market viability for the low-cost development kits that I take advantage of quite a bit.... I just find that if you visit your average hackerspace or Maker faire, you spend most of your time weeding through the noise to try to get actionable and useful information. I was merely pointing out that if you abhor the sciolist hipster smug, be wary of the "Makers" because there is a abnormally high concentration of that there than in most technology communities.
