I've met a couple of people like that. I met an Assembly and C++ programmer on my first job. He was asked to maintain a Visual Basic project and months later got fired for underperforming. Then, I met an APL programmer that at some point even owned a consultant firm. Nowadays he works as a cab driver, barely covering his cab expenses.

>I met an Assembly and C++ programmer on my first job. He was asked to maintain a Visual Basic project and months later got fired for underperforming. I can imagine why. After coming from an asm/C++ background, he was probably completely demoralized in having to work in the comparative hell that is Visual BASIC.

  Unfortunately back in my country there wasn't a lot of opportunities for low level programmers.
