the houses are only cheap because he values his time so little.
An alternative way to put it is that the houses are only expensive if he places negligible value on the enjoyment he gets from doing this. Your criticism could be applied to most of my favourite activities, in any case. I don't really see much of a market for a flagrantly-inefficient Scheme-to-32-bit-x86-assembly compiler, but I'm bloody well doing it anyway, because I just like it.
- nopassrecover 17y agoYou missed the point. It is not scalable because most people value their time higher.
- gloob 17y agoNo; it's not scalable because most people wouldn't gain any enjoyment from it and it takes a non-trivial amount of effort to train them to do it so you can pay them. How much they "value their time" has little to do with it.
- nopassrecover 17y agoTwo sides of the same coin. I was just countering what I saw in your comment which was that we can all get by doing the things we love simply for the love of them.
