Okay, I&#x27;ll bite. I don&#x27;t get it.

the point of art (code) should not be for recognition. create for the sake of taking the journey of creation, its much more fulfilling, and let others enjoy or not the creation. many famous artists were dead long before they were recognized for their brilliance.

20,000,000 people used our software last year. Perhaps 100 of them know who we are. I find this oddly gratifying, in some variety of Wizard-of-Oz type fashion.
