I don't think they do it anymore, but spotify started out with a p2p network on the backend.
Super smart way of bootstrapping such a thing without having to upfront huge server costs.

I don't know the first thing about climbing, but I assume there is good stuff, and then super expensive top notch stuff.

My comment is not an argument against getting decent or good equipment.

if you try to learn something with the worst equipment it can teach bad habits and not be as fun. Far from needing the high end stuff, though

Yeah I think this holds rue for a lot of stuff, if you're serious about learning, you do need decent equipment, but you don't need the best, most expensive stuff there is.

Hahah mountain climbing. Yeah, touché!

On the other hand, a beginner would still get smoked.

Agreed, but that's not really how the question in the comic was phrased.

Many people who start out at a craft or hobby fall into the trap of thinking they need to get the best and most expensive equipment in order to improve or "get good".

In most cases the better equipment might feel nicer to work with, but doesn't really improve the performance of their wielder.

The hard truth that can be hard to accept, is that the pro's are really good because they put a lot of time and effort into getting there. And there really are no shortcuts around that.

That has to be the best "captain speaking" moment in history.

I like how the french fries got a drinking straw

It's interesting how it still looks kindof correct at a glance, until you look at it specifically.

mcdonalds? the sign clearly says "modlidani"

fingers? try the coca cola logo...
