@imsickofmaps talking about someone talking about the need to act instead of talking about the need to act. Case in point?

@toast38coza hah maybe! Depends what the reader does with the poke to act...

@imsickofmaps Typical @SiliconCape talking about needing to act, instead of acting. While the rest of us are busy actually, y'know, acting.

@vhata my observation is that @SiliconCape "generally" caters to Biz-Wannabes but devs (the doers) aren't connected/motivated to engage them

@imsickofmaps Well, yes, why would we want to engage people that do nothing but talk about how "we" need to do stuff?

@vhata yup - theres quite a diff betwn being having A+ coder skills and even B- biz skill tho. Do the coders want to develop that u think?

@imsickofmaps Yes, absolutely they do. But not if it means having to deal with that sort of person.

@vhata haha! Love the loaded tone of "that sort of person"! I think I'll write a short post cos I think this warrants further comments...

@vhata BTW not all @SiliconCape is poop. The VC Office Hours thing is cool. I met and talked with @PoweredbyVC and he was smart and helpful.
