>I mean, you think "the world's most profitable progress-themed ad distributor" comes about becuase "coding wizards" are just intrinsically intersted in this, rather than because it's what makes people lots of money? Not at all. The "most profitable" part was an acknowledgement that money is at the center of such decision-making. But that paradigm exists alongside the one where FOSS and indie libraries and software are at the base of a number of important technologies. I'm just having trouble understanding why messaging isn't one of them.
