The structure of the article was, quite explicitly, the chain of my

lacking in style and, in some places, tact. But I still think it has
redeming value.

Perspective: 
The latest release of MS windows cost $2Billion...

A typical internet start-up would receive anywhere from 20 to 50 million
in VC. 

Heck, in the VC world you need to ask for large sums of money just to
get people's attention.

I think my posting gets to the heart of what is holding back many
advancments in software and AI in particular. I think that a
contribution to making an AI developer's life easier is no less valuble
than a contribution to AI directly.
