True. But I framed it too specifically. My perspective holds true at the level of large organisations wanting to take punts towards similarly large markets. Signing the money off is going to become more and more difficult when the access co

You don't understand. This is the creation of an economic moat (a term coined by Warren Buffet.) The gatekeeper creates a toll and the tradesman agrees to pay the toll. This is an entry cost to new market players and therefore reduces

This should be a warning to anybody that ends up amassing X00K in a digital currency to be very very careful to keep your money secured and in your control.

Well, this is great. But it's missing something. If I'm to learn how to write clearer, I will need to use this more often. Could they create an API and a chrome addon? Ubiquity is the killer feature of any communication tool.

Anybody else get invited a few weeks back and now feel the pang of no longer being in an exclusive club? I need a hug. Aside: I think this is a great blogging platform that turns quite a few people away because of Dustin's bravado.

Brogrammers are not the in-group. They are an out-group - which is why this whole thread is about excluding them for various reasons. You cannot have a decent argument before you realise you are being exclusionary to a group of people based

Yes, I was kidding about 'man', but my point is that 'bro' isn't that exclusionary. In fact, I think the problem here is that a lot of geeks don't like 'bros' and I am doubting that they're hated

Brogrammer is just a stereotype, brah. Not everybody that wears shades, doesn't take life seriously and speaks with an accent is misogynistic, crass, less mature than you and difficult to depend on. That's not really fair. To a br
