Happiness is different things for different people. Don't be condescending if you do not understand another person's way of life.
- sadpanda5 12y agoI never said he shouldnt be happy. I said if he intends to make lots of money, he needs to come up with better ideas and have better skills at being a salesman. This is the classic programmer dilemma. They built a great product and dont understand why its not winning in the market. Its VHS vs Beta Max. Sales is so important for this (as is having a good idea) - He seems to fail on both counts.
- kasey_junk 12y agoHe specifically mentions that he isn't interested in making lots of money. Further, patio11 is one of the few programmers to have written extensively on how to become a good salesman. To say that he doesn't understand why it's not winning in the market is extremely condescending to someone who specifically writes a public post to address this.
- jacalata 12y agoYou didn't say anything of the sort. There was literally not a single conditional in your post.
