> yet you somehow failed to tell that to your employer

Were you involved in my hiring process? Are you my manager, or a stakeholder in my employer's business? How could you possibly know that I failed to tell my employer that?

> i think you just have a hard time imagining that what customers pay for isn't R&D

I don't have a problem imagining it, I just don't believe that your customers see it that way. If I was a customer of yours, I would expect that more R&D work would happen because I'm paying you (mainly because I firmly believe in free software businesses and that such R&D should be paid for).

Heh, so it's not 100% unpaid after all? ;)

Wow, code gets better over time? Holy shit!

Gladly. :D
