David, it is pretty annoying thought, that all this man power will suddenly be available on the market. But on the other side web is the simplest of all development, so I guess instead of going into our market the majority of them will either move to .NET projects (the developers, which are the minority, should be less then 15% of typical web company and the rest is marketing and sales) or change jobs (content managers will become local journalists, web masters will move to system administration and integration, web designers will do DTP, industrial design, usability studios, entertainment industry, etc.) Does it in any way affect C++ industry? I don't think so. C++ is the same industry (computer software), but different market and addressing different needs. And not many C++ programmers will emanate from dot coms. I wonder how this fall of web from grace will effect Linux/Java community? Regards, Tomaz Software Architect, Switzerland

Heck, probably one of the primary reasons these companies are failing is that they tried to build their technology around a bunch of VB guys right out of college. I don't see a bunch of those guys running around loose as being much of a threat to us "real" programmers.
