I realise I gave many examples from my own life and tried to explain why developers who think like me and are as enlightened as me deserve the best in employer treatment. However, it was done while trying to convince both employers and employees. I'd rather speak from experience (like Joel Spolsky does) than speak of something I know nothing of, or in vague generalisations. And one should always remember Joel's Generalisation: http://perl.net.au/wiki/Joel's_Generalisation > But - and I say this > both as an employee and an employer, there are indeed points to take to > heart.
