NYCPHP Meetup

This is a tough industry.

You are writing software for an openly hostile environment (the
internet), using a grab-bag of hashed-up "standards", that has to look
good and work right on at least 3 different platforms (MSIE, Gecko,
and WebKit).

On top of all that, unless you work as a cog in the wheels of a big
firm, you also have to have the interpersonal and business skills to
pitch jobs and collect money from clients.

No sane engineer would actually choose to be a web developer.

Just sayin.
