Where do you live? In the center of San Francisco?
In every other place in the world nobody give a damn about the latest technology. They only need something that work for they problems.

Freedom must be protected and preserved, is not something that naturally happen.

A medium city in north Italy.
There are significant differences in terms of salary and HUGE differences in term of jobs availability and cost of living.
Some planning is needed if you want to a nice living.

I work in C#, sometime javascript if needed.
For a small IT consulting firm.
mtct | 12 years ago | on: Agony of an African programmer
Yes
mtct | 12 years ago | on: Agony of an African programmer
Actually yes, I live with my parents.
I would probably be able to rent a small 1-room flat but for now I prefer to save money.

Better than half of my peers for sure.
Of course you can grow with time, both in salary and in responsibility, for now I'm the classical code monkey but I have an idea for a startup that would like to develop so I will leave the job before the end of the year.

I, in Italy, as a junior software developer, earn €17000/year.
And genuinely I'm not complaining.

Also, Visual Basic and Visual C++ don't have a good support in the mono project.
And obviously you can't use SQL Server or IIS; two components usually used in .Net applications; under unix

a relatively successful company.
Xamarind is a drop in the sea of .NET
mtct | 12 years ago | on: Contributing to the F# Language, Library and Tools
Yes and not, you surely can develop successfully with mono on linux, but .NET is not "write once, run everywhere", is more a "write once, run everything" framework.
It's heavy tangled with all the Microsoft and Windows technology and promote the reuse of code in that ecosystem.
mtct | 12 years ago | on: Contributing to the F# Language, Library and Tools
No, you probably don't want to use F# if you can't use the .NET framework.

heresy!

I don't think build a business is as easy as choose from a list.
You sure can implement every problem reported in that list but if you don't know/have the problem in first person, how good can your solution be?
