meat uses up enormous quantities of water. potatoes for instance use about 75 gallons to produce 2000 calories compared to say 1500 to 2500 gallons for 2000 calories of beef.

Sure they could develop it in a weekend, so could anyone else. but once a product has the initial userbase, that's not something a competitor can just copy. user acquision is the limiting factor to success, not writing code.

isn't it just one more step up the hierarchy. 10 years ago most developers have forgotten how to code in machine language because you didn't need to know it. Now, we're jsut going one step higher.
