Yeah, Developers (like many people) are tight arses / poor bastards. I almost didn't go because of the ticket price, but got a Bizspark discount. Microsoft need a freelancer/sole dev ticket price for the non corporate people who are paying for it themselves.
It also extends into tools. How many devs I've met who are too tight to fork out a couple of hundred for their own Resharper license etc. It's the tools of your trade for fucks sake! If you were a carpenter, you'd have your own tools. People spend thousands on hardware and then go all tight arsed on software and demand it to be Free (with a capital F)... /facepalm So you order yourself a new Surface? I'm hoping I get mine before I head off to Ignite. Ordered Surface Book, best specs I could get. Shiny!
