You come to this conclusion based on your dealings with a small subset of developers within a small subset of companies?
I think many other developers in the fortune 500 companies outside of the subset you deal with would laugh at that conclusion, then go back to developing apps that deal with people/locales all over the world.
- reuven 10y agoFair enough. My sample is from lots of companies, but a small subset of tasks there.
- falcolas 10y agoThis also describes my entire team. And the team before that. There are at least as many developers out there who don't write user facing code as those who do. When I do run across Unicode, it's just a matter of passing it through, which is usually pretty easy to do.
