Interesting thread...how about we assume we know it all and start taking
over the development of software. Wouldn't that be cool? I think our entire
profession needs to get a backbone. Only one person suggested that this
was insane!
Questions like this frustrate me. It reminds me that what I do isn't really
considered a profession. After all, anyone can write, eh?
