It's a quote from 96 hours:

"Bryan: [...] But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

The reason is marketing. If your website sells you as the perfect fit for everything from embedded systems to web apps to iOS to Android, you are going to have a hard time to stick out in any pile of candidates-for-our-next-project. If however you wrote a book on iOS development, have a few dozen in-depth articles on Objective-C and Swift on your blog and can refer to a handful of your apps in the app store, you will at least be on top of the (lucrative) pile of candidates-for-someones-next-iOS-project.

Dear makandra: I bought the book on account of this comment. Read about half of it and love it already.

But why is this the first time I heard about the book?

But the source title is in fact more precise this time: "Replaced js with 1 single HTTP request".

In case you are not being sarcastic on purpose: Patrick despises crypto currencies and very probably has no *coin address.

You could always buy bingo card creator.

I think the idea gets taken a bit too far here. The solution to all cited examples has already been invented: it's called borrowing from friends, family and neighbours.
