I read a lot of tech blogs, so it’s not that it isn’t targeted. But the thought of 200,000 lines of payment processing code, when PayPal is taking care of all the credit card stuff already, makes me queasy.

If I was in the market for payment processing, an ad that offered a few really useful, secure APIs would be a lot more enticing.
