Famous at last, though not in the best way

[Mike Kerner]

On the heroism, I'm just telling you what the writers of the posts seem to
be saying, unless I'm reading them wrong.

I don't disagree that LC is a nice tool to have.  I do seem to spend enough
time using it - but - I've used lots of tools that were nice.  Sometimes,
though, in business, mass leads to growth.  I wasn't all that amped at
being able to develop android apps, except for the fact that someone else
who wants to develop for mobile can target ios and android with less work,
which means more potential users, more potential revenue for RR, and thus,
more potential goodies for me in the product.

Today's hackers are frequently tomorrow's badasses, because eventually they
grow up and get a job.  I'll cheer the hackers latching on as a very big
deal for tool growth.  Now that LC is OSS, they might even eventually fork
it and do other very cool things with it that we can all thank them for,
later.
