This does not reflect the experiences of any developer I know. Is this a local phenomenon? Do you live in silicon valley?

- OzzyB 15y agoI would venture to say that this is indeed very common. It's the same for web-design, graphic design and pretty much every creative industry out there. And now that "apps" are the mainstream buzzword, programmers are seeing it too.
- aaronblohowiak 15y agoThis is super common in sf bay. SV is a marketing / media term.. Most of the locals say "the bay", FYI
- yardie 15y agoIt's probably regional. Any place that has a high flux of MBAs; in my case NYC, Miami, London, Paris. Usually its a copy of an already successful model or a mashup of 2 already successful models. Recently, someone asked me about my thoughts on a location based photosharing service (twitter meets flickr). I was honestly interested in it then a few weeks later Instagram came out. Most of the time I either get the ideas that are completely infeasible or too pedestrian.
- davidwparker 15y agoIt's the same scenario in Boulder, CO. There is at least a 5-1 ratio of business-types to programmers.
