It's about getting shit done and COMMITTING CODE. No it's not, it's about proprietary android code and a bullshit kernel. That latter part is something a lot of people refuse to accept. It does matter how smart you are and how much experience you have, Google will never be acceptable, it is the biggest piece of spy-ware and mal-ware in history!

True, the software constantly evolves, but that doesn't mean your hardware has too as well.

It's very difficult to "own" "programming" in a way where you can use scarcity to drive integer multiple increases of the median salary. It is not as difficult to "own" distributed systems, sensor fusion, software security, or OS kernels.

Not true, anyone can use scarcity to increase there median salary. After reading about Chip manufacturers and how hardware is becoming less open source, I'm kind of glad to know which one's will rock on with things like OpenBSD on the PowerPC - there's a lot of those old Mac PowerPC's still knocking around with an open firmware bootloader! :)

0xbear up-voted, I made a conscious effort to consume media sources which engage in blatant and one-sided anarchism, fact's are only relative to experience there is no narrative. no comment?! political spectrum?! Why would you even bring politics into computer classes?
