Hilarious. This was one of the first jobs I ran on the 200 machine hadoop cluster with the webmap on in 2006 when I joined Yahoo. It took an hour to run.


Yet he makes millions from it. So this proves that it isn't the idea that matters, but the execution?


Correct! I didn't imply otherwise. For some reason the comments and down voters thought the worst when really I was commending him and making fun of myself for not realizing what an interesting little business could be made. Cynics!


And yet he's making a ton of money providing a service that no one else has found a way to provide his customers with.
