A couple statements to highlight: "because I see too many good products die because whoever built it never got it out to the right people." - yes. Great ideas DESERVE to be found! "difficult as a marketer discerning who is a gifted programmer and who isn't" The street goes both ways. I would say that it's easy to fool a marketer into thinking you're a rockstar programmer. "there is a long, long learning curve if you're going to do it well." Well said. I still personally think it's more difficult -- maybe not conceptually, but it's terribly labor intensive and unpredictable.
