Didn't start programming professionally until my early 30s. Quit my job to do it. Spent 9 months with no job teaching myself before landing my first job in software.

>If they really wanted to stop these programs There's your answer, isn't it? They don't want to stop these programs. They benefit from the economic espionage. Actions speak louder than words.

The problem with "Yes, if.." is that the person asking only hears "Yes..." You better make sure the "if.." is in writing, with extra bold font. That, or you're stuck supporting IE6 with no budget or time t

"The phone didn't take those pictures!? Next you'll tell me Terry Crews doesn't even use Old Spice either!" Does he really think anyone expects to get professionally retouched photos out of a phone? As for licensing

If things have changed so drastically, then you should have no problem securing a constitutional amendment.

This was a great article actually. Most game devs are men, so we don't understand this point of view so well. I may be inspired to write a "girl" game with such insights. Thank you for sharing it :)
