I could not sell a gallon of water to a person dying of thirst for one dollar, even if they had a million dollars in their pockets. I know this for a fact and accept it. I am just posting because I am bored and frustrated. I know better ways to do things and COULD do them, but I am NOT going to actually do the work then get as you say just a "wage slaves" compensation. People like those at Microsoft could be given a two year head start and $100 million to do it, and I could still come out with a better product ***working alone*** in the fourth year. No brag just fact. One good engineer = 10 outstanding programmers. As a matter of fact the same one good engineer still = 1000 programmers working as a team because they spend so much time fighting for turf and shuffling specs that they do squat about getting the product out the door....
