    Has anyone besides me noticed that the question oriented forumns have not been very active for the last few weeks? There seems to be only a handful of post each day. Now I know that a developer can advance his knowlege beyond "Hello World" but this is really strange!

      I am looking to quit this field any day now. With any luck in two months I move to sales.

      Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

          Its the lack of "Please give me a final-year project title" and "Please do my homework for me" questions that you're missing. Reason: School holidays.

              I want to focus on entrepreneurship and being the programmer is no way to develop my business. Sure I may reminisce about all of the things I missed about being a developer but the end goal is to be missing all of those things with a much fatter bank account.

                You guys missed out on a golden opportunity to make fun of us Indians. You could had done something along the lines of how there was a massive power failure in India and thus the urgentz-codez programmers could not get to CP :rolleyes:

                      Ramadan has started, so near diddly-squat gets done in muslim countries until Eid. Also, I suspect the recession has reduced the amount of development being done. That said, Stack Overflow looks as busy.

                        You guys dont really have power failures. The problem isn't that something broke - it's that the elephants you have on treadmills are being swapped out.

                            I was tempted to point to the India [^]centric forum and note that there seems to be a fair amount of non programming traffic there. You request to move the jokes there seems to have worked. Thank you
