    I’m in an intriguing position on this subject, because I’m not a developer anymore. I haven’t launched Xcode since last December. Every time I’m out socially with software developers (which is often; I’ve made many good friends in that line of work, and I have no desire to lose them), at least one person asks me if I miss the job.

      It's hard to take the author seriously when he misspells company names.  Maybe he should've spent more time writing the article. :-D /ravi

        Stop right where you are! You know the score, pal. You're not dev, you're little people! The slightly worrying thing about that article though is that he has moved into being a professional writer. If even Anthony Summers and Robbyn Swan are having worries about that profession's future then it is in really big trouble. Authors - Amazon has eaten your lunch, bussed the tray and stiffed you for the tip.
