eh, I guess I don't really mind them hanging out, I mean, I'm not interested in what they have, but others are. My problem is that they seem to have the attitude that everyone wants to talk to them. Having angels at hackathons is fine, maybe even good. The problem is when angels become (or act as if they are) the centre of hackathons. I remember not so long ago I was at a kinda business oriented hackathon and I couldn't get this angel to leave me alone. I mean, okay, I talked at first, but after realising that he was only interested in something that would sound good on CNN (which is to say, he wasn't interested in anything realistic, or at least nothing realistic that I was capable of doing) I lost interest. It was like trying to talk to someone who was stoned. He said things that sounded deep, like they were 'big ideas' but if you pinned him down and dug into the details, there was no actual content. The guy wouldn't leave me alone, even though I was being fairly direct about "not interested, working" both verbally and non-verbally. It didn't help that my partner liked talking to the guy, I assume because of the money. Really, if the guy wanted to sit behind me and watch, that'd have been fine. It was the talking to me, /after/ I made it clear I wasn't interested in talking to him that bothered me.
