I know a couple of different guys who both are raising 1-2 happy kids and manage to find some coding time nevertheless (as well as exercising). It depends on the amount of passion for the craft.

Well, Minecraft involves producing content not just consuming it. So people with enough common sense to be able to produce something will get PCs... Or Macs. The rest will be playing Minecraft and Candy Crush Saga on their tablets.

"...did anyone ever care about how much money the founder of LEGO, Mr. Kirk, ever made..." - er, yes. Especially here on HN I believe. "...I don’t even think my 12- and 8-year old sons know what Word is..." - it means so

They have a big problem on their hands with a severely outdated Mono and C#. I wonder how much Xamarin wants to charge them for the upgrade.

We are forced to use poorly-designed legacy languages on the "open" web, but why would you torment yourself with them when you are not limited outside of the "open" web?

Unity3d alone completely invalidates this claim.

C# is in front of all three in mobile space (it compiles to native of course). C# is the only language that is both modern and spans all major mobile platforms. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xamarin

The web is not open. It's a closed environment that requires using a specific set of legacy technologies: HTML5, JS, CSS.

Their live feed yesterday was only available on Safari. Isn't it obvious that they want their herd only inside of a barn?

Well, people are not algorithms but neither they are animals. Conceptions should be better planned or otherwise punished. Nothing worse then raising other guy's child unknowingly (I know article was not about that).

Apparently this is called "open". Black is white, god is bad, truth is a lie, web is open.

"Largest open platform in existence" It's not open, it's locked to legacy languages.

So, someone who chooses to build independent native apps instead of Xamarin/PhoneGap earns the most?

Proper OOP and type checking. Fighting to finally make the web open. Open to new languages, technologies and innovation. All we have now is legacy stuff like JS and HTML. I hope NaCl will also start dominating at some point. Freedom of choi

The "unity feel" is a well-known phenomenon (relying on pre-made components and assets too much, so that you can guess which engine was used without researching). I guess soon we will have dozens of "unreal feel" games.
