And there is the distinction. Spending large amounts of their own money to get massive traffic is EXACTLY what good marketers do. They can get the exposure a company like Facebook gives developers. A great marketer can build something in a week that can make him hundreds of thousands of dollars. The best hacker, unless he has marketing support can not. This is not to say hackers are less valuable than marketers, nothing is further from the truth. But, in some cases, top marketers can create a lot more value for themselves more quickly than top hackers.
- zackattack 16y agoI would say that hackers are a lot less valuable than marketers. Of course at the top levels you're measuring apples and oranges but if you need someone to create a product and you're willing to pay $150/hr you can probably hire a good hacker. If you need someone to create a marketing strategy you may have to pay $500/hr.
