But techies are not necessarily where the money is.
A large number of financial execs have spotted the hype, and see it as their "contribution" to their bank. It gives them the chance to do something different, maybe run their own team, and make a name for themselves.
From the stories I've heard they are not all clueless about the real potential either; They just see that this is likely to eat up even more investment, and they want to be on the gravy train.
I've heard that several of the consultancies are into this area as well, though they really have no clue what they are doing. Some of them have zero experience but they can still sell projects on the strength of their brand.
