Oh. So, er, "I will always do web programming" actually meant "I'm not really going to be doing much of any sort of programming from now on". Fair enough, and that may well be a very wise career decision, but I don't think I can really be faulted for misunderstanding you.

No, it means I will always do web programing.

Lets say the next big thing in programming is GPU programming to compute massive volumes of data - I will still always do web programming.

Lets say I continue to move into strategy, product development etc - I will still always do web programming.

I just don't sit into one of the boxes perhaps you are trying to pigeon hole me into, maybe?
