I am no "Master" coder. I work on a IT dev team that mainly codes using a proprietary system. This actually makes my life a lot harder. Having to write XML handling code just using basic string functions. God that sfun.
I Spend over 12 hours a day out of the house, plus I am trying to fix up my flat to sell so me and the Wife can move closer to work.
Programming on the Amstrad and Amiga as a teenager was fun. After working all day I really can't be bothered.
I don't code for greed, I work in IT because I have bills to pay to survive.
A similar analogy to all this...Have you even see a mechanic in car that wasn't falling apart.
I like your enthusiasm Cammy, but I think like a lot of zealots it sometimes blinds you to real life.
