Get off my lawn! Just because this person didn't have to suffer like we did doesn't mean they won't be productive and make a living. Zeldman was great, but these new folks coming into the market are following DHH, bootstrapped rapid frameworks that scaffold it all. They are building quick and cool things, and will have years to figure out all the inner workings.
It is a sustainable living, and if you don't sit on your hands it will be for some time. Though we might call ourselves something different by then right?
- girvo 12y agoI think your parents argument is that it isn't sustainable. If one can learn and be productive as quickly as the OP, then it follows that the developer "shortage" will only be temporary for this particular corner of the industry.
- sosuke 12y agoPossibly, but we've seen a developer gold rush in the past and it doesn't last. Those who do shine through.
