As owner of a consultancy that makes custom web applications for clients, I'm taking the expected mainstream success of this movie as a very bullish signal about growth in the overall ecosystem of web startups.
- nagnatron 16y agoAs a random guy on the internet I'm going to go and replace my bullshit meter because it just exploded while I was reading your post.
- stjarnljuset 16y agoObie owns/runs Hashrocket which I recognize as a RoR shop, so that part is true. As for the correlation between the movie's success and the growth of the web startup world, I disagree. I would guess that people will see this movie because it's about a website that's a part of their daily lives. Even if I didn't know who Obie was, I don't think his comment warranted getting downvotes or being called out as bullshit.
- indiejade 16y agoA better-formed statement would be something along the lines of: if this movie does well in the mainstream, then there will likely be a surge of interest in web start-ups. The self-promotional prefix is irrelevant.
