He is completely wrong. It's only a decision you have made...I for example decided that the family is more important and went to work 4 days a week only. The other 3 days for the family, and phones are forbidden...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Oh, you mean in the actual article itself? Take that one up with the author on InfoQ.

Sometimes we are too quick to jump in and start cranking out code to solve the problem without considering all the implications of the issues we’re trying to solve. We don’t consider that someone else might have already solved this problem, with code available for our use that has already been written, tested, and debugged. "There is no new thing under the sun"

While I may agree with the idea, the article is worthless insofar as it fails to give any examples of existing libraries, either in C++ or C#. Saying "Google it" is an antipattern.

You are absolutely right. What's more this article omits a few quite more important "tasks" that many people are eager to implement themselves, for example caching and security.

The desktop computing OS for end users has failed to capture any attention lately, though. Al Gillen, the program vice president for servers and system software at IDC, says the Linux OS as a computing platform for end users is at least comatose – and probably dead. "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no."
Or, to steal Mark's answer[^] to another headline-as-question: "No. Yes. Maybe. It depends."

I have a dual boot laptop (win 7 / Ubuntu). As an end-user there's really nothing I miss on the Ubuntu side.
However, as a developer I need to do development work for things I'm doing at work (on Windows boxes) so I need all the Microsoft tools really -- i know, i know Mono and all that.
Of course, as dev moves more toward web apps, mobile apps I can see Microsoft is slipping. I could do most all that dev in Linux.
My point is:
Can a developer make money on Linux? Yes? No? Maybe in certain pockets in the world, but mostly if I have windows dev skills I can go a lot more places on the globe and still be able to work.
Just a wondering out loud.

Well it's a change from proclaiming next year as the Year of Linux on the Desktop.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Just because you have a college degree doesn’t mean you have learned anything. That is the main problem I have with most traditional education programs today. School has become much more about getting a degree—a piece of paper—than it has about actually learning something of value. "The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned. The things that pass for knowledge, I can't understand"

School has always been about getting a piece of paper which is why many engineering disciplines used to work off the basis of apprenticeship.
However - as is also the case with money - the problems arise when people place value on the piece of paper not the underlying meaning of that paper. In the case of a college education the worth of the piece of paper is as proof that you can spend considerable amounts of time doing pointless work for people whose only real qualification is that they are much older than you. This is a perfect metaphor for work - especially if you end up working for me

Actually most of the people I do work for are younger than me.
