huh? cannibalism and programming.. not my experience. First, when you enjoy your job its more of a hobby that you get paid to do. Second, this group should give you a good indication of the general helpfulness techies have toward each other. (Hey, its us against stupid users, right? kidding.) I would say my perspective is that of a seasoned and [apparently] well respected developer. I'm not sure what factors would affect some one just getting into the field. Also, if you have a dream you should pursue it with fervor and wisdom. -j ----- Original Message ---- From: Michael Havens To: plug-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us Sent: Monday, March 5, 2007 10:20:37 PM Subject: canibalism Is this an apt word in describing the programming industry?
