You know, I actually went to a Hackers & Founders meetup back in 2009 as a wanna-be founder just trying to meet some folks and see what the NYC scene was all about. It was a LOT of fun talking to folks about ideas and technology and all that, but I noticed the ratio of Hackers to Founders to be about 1/10, and my market presented itself thusly. It took a little while to become a Really Useful Programmer, but I've been busy as hell all year. Thank you YC!
