Okay, if you actually need an app to help you get some ass, I suspect there might be another significant underlying issue there, and the app probably wont help you anyway. Besides there being hundreds of these silly things out already, I don't see why you or someone else getting sex should necessitate some brilliant programmers help who could otherwise be spending her time on problems far more worthwhile(e.g. perhaps aiding in curing STD's is more enticing for you).


What makes you think that the people getting rich off Poke apps are the brilliant ones? That is the fallacy of it all.


Did you read the article? Its not only about the ones who get rich, its moreso about the significant amount of talent flowing towards these superfluous types of "companies" (ie. startups that are really nothing more than mere features, or eCommerce websites), instead of working for a larger "old-guard" company that actually accomplishes much more because the startup is more cool or popular; according to the author.

I think it may be overblown a bit sometimes, but there is definitely truth to this.


So, erm, what are these large "old-guard" companies that somehow would make better use of my talents?

And further, where did they come from?
