What an odd way to respond to two people willing to take the risk to start a new thing. You can say something similarly flippant and derogatory about most every company at its start.
- "Books online?! Feh!"
- "Power from hydrocarbons?! Nonsense! Get a real job!"
- "Flying machines? We need more bicycles!"
It would be better to engage with the founders and ask why they started the company and what they think the can achieve. I did that and have enjoyed working with Liana and Michael. Also, though it doesn't matter much, neither of them studied CS in college.
