Venture capital won't kill Jeff Atwood, it will only make him Jeffer.

Prepare to see "boat-programming" (http://www.mattmcdole.com/boat/) make a reappearance on stackoverflow.

I'm getting a second yacht before Jeff tells me I'm behind the times.

Sounds like there's an exponential growth formula (that's what she said..hur) in relation to time, money, and monitors for Jeff.

Time to make the "World's Simplest Atwood Monitor Predictor Calculator"

@Patrick

Like many of these things, I doubt it's a true "exponential" curve.

Once the number of monitors per yacht is equivalent to the total number of ocular receptors in Jeff's eyeballs, I would expect it to flatten out considerably.

I mean, come on: no one would accuse him of being megalomaniacal. Particularly since that word is so heavily patent-encumbered by Apple.

Once he has the monitor wall from The Dark Knight he will probably be happy... for a while.

Every developer needs 6 million dollars in venture capital...

Every developer needs neural interface with USB port. Then PCIe.
