I thought paying people to do things and taking credit yourself was the way of silicon valley.

  Conception and putting money on tbe line deserves credit. There would be no endeavors if there was no incentive of credit. But yeah nice HN stereotype of silicon valley.

    >Conception and putting money on tbe line deserves credit. I suppose I can agree, but I wouldn't put conception of an idea in the same league as offering money towards it. >There would be no endeavors if there was no incentive of credit. You can call this an uncharitable interpretation, but are you arguing that people would never do anything if there weren't wealthy people with money offering it in exchange? That is absurd and provably false, with all of these hobbyist and otherwise unpaid works.

    > There would be no endeavors if there was no incentive of credit Speak for yourself, the vast majority of tasks in the world aren't really worth bragging about, and credit doesn't put food on the table. That said in this particular case, the people who built this certainly deserve credit as they clearly have great skill and vision. But that's not what our society is built on.
