>> walnut guru Calling myself a "javascript rockstar" was funny when I was 20. Now it's ridiculous. Let's all grow up. Guys seriously, what is wrong with something that most of us here would define as "art"? How can we, as programmers, let ourselves be hired by people like that, or even try to hire programmers that way? The situation only goes on because we allow it to go on. And that "You don't use X much, so you don't WANT to use X for your work" attitude is complete bullshit, though it's a good way to spot a bad employer from the get-go (last one who did this to me kinda told me "Hey kid, sometimes you have to bow down and take jobs you don't want to take. Even if we don't even pay you minimum wage because we make profit skimming the intern's salaries". Poor guy's still posting ads asking for a programmer one year later).
