Things don't work as I expect. Works fine for me :) I don't want to write it myself.
There are lots of bugs. How is there bugs? You can't just learn something from a book. Kinda of a crappy way to learn anyway, slow and dated, learn from github that's better. People are inventing stuff too fast (without coordination or quality control). I think people are experimenting fast and throwing out what doesn't work The shiny thing of today is buried tomorrow. that happens more in proprietary software not the open web Writing code is more expensive. writing code does not cost money ;) Things are more complicated. Oh come'on what about MFC or assembly I can't afford to retire. Maybe we should have been bankers?
