How do you know that the code I write is not all that? Just because a real programmers can write code quickly it doesn't make them bad programmers. On the contrary, if you know what you are doing you can code cleanly and quickly. There seems to be multitude of people who have opinion on software development who should concentrate on something entirely else like TPS reports. Are you one of those guys who has to assemble a committee to change a font size?

I just coded the final lab for bunch of University of Arizona (or some college near by) just for kicks... Took me 12 hours and these dudes probably had more than four months to do it. If I can do that, there must be some value to my skill... I'm just a high school graduate... Couple of years of University of Helsinki CS (I think Torvalds was still there when I started), but lost interest when I realized I know how to do stuff.

I wait patiently until a genius is close enough and after that pretty much any pen will do.

I'll come to insult you more - after I go through these numbers and make sure they are correct.

I've made a simple stopwatch app for Symbian. I entered it into Nokias store when it opened I think 2008. Its sales have actually gone up instead of down even though there has been more competition than in the past. Of course it is the best one in mobile ;), but still I don't think that Symbian is quite dead yet. Besides Nokia is still making most of its smartphone money from Symbian.
