willthefirst | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Are front-end developers really "developers"?

I think my question comes from the fact that FED's need to engage less than backenders with strict compsci concepts, unless we're writing JS. I think I meant to ask whether HTML/CSS and all the variants and elaborations count as "programming".

The burn-in/ghosting issue only affects the earliest batch of screens. I just took my retina into the Apple store, and they will decapitate it and add a new screen for free. Annoying, but it doesn't affect all whole line.

Steve Jobs was a big role model of mine, yet Bill Gates never came close. I'm starting to realize that is due to the dramatic nature of Job's life, which is very different from what we know about Bill Gates.

Yet, when things like this comes out, and stories about Jobs emerge, I start to question whether my choice of a role model was really all that well placed. Do you admire the guy with the entrancing personality, or the one that is about to cure polio?

With tech like this, that can sense and communicate events that happen in the physical world, I'd imagine that the globe will become sentient in 100 years. Just adding more and more nodes to the ever increasing network.
