Philosophies for Software Engineers

Business guys make more money, only because they convince developers to take less than they are worth. Your friend hired a developer who, by your account, was doing all the work, and then the business failed because your friend was too greedy.

Now he thinks he's going to learn to be a developer and then not need any developers. Good luck with that.

By the way "getting it funded" is not success. Making it profitable is success.

PS- the word "coders" is like the n word. Use it and we know you don't respect us.

Not that I am comparing software development to entertainment but in my perception, software developers today are in a similar position as Elvis was with his fake-Colonel "business guy" throughout his career: exploited and treated like a replaceable widget. The one person I credit with providing me this insight is patio11 whose articles on negotiation are gold.

I believe the politically correct nomenclature is "Technican-american", though some also call us dork skinned people.

Still missin' my /home/boy, they got him up in Redmond after an IPO gone bad, heard he's vestin' for another 3 years up in there.
