First of all, this in no way provides advertisement for me, nor do I need any. I have projects, I don't need more. And if I go looking for another project, I just need a spec or idea -- I can prototype virtually any type of technology in a relatively short time. There is a lot more to this story than you know about. My comments were actually extremely restrained. You should talk about things that you actually know about. They took advantage of me, then threw me under the bus and discounted my work. The one thing that will absolutely enrage me is someone throwing around the word 'unprofessional'. He did discount my work in that article. I hope that actually the 'amateur coder' comment was just implying falsely that Rob coded it and not referring to me. If he wants to refer to me as an amateur coder though, then yes, I will hope that I can save up and sue him some day for that slander, no matter how famous or connected a lawyer his dad is. |

I am sure that there is a lot more to this story than I know. I only just encountered it and newspapers are notoriously bad at accurately portraying anything remotely technical.
I refuse to talk about only things I know. Nobody else does, and it would make finding out about new things difficult.
I am sorry to hear that you had a bad experience here, I have had numerous shitty clients over the years, however if your client does have a case to answer, the wise thing to do is go down the legal route and do not air any dirty laundry until after the dust settles.
You are not going to like this, but if you get enraged by someone throwing around the word unprofessional, then you are unprofessional. You might be the best coder on earth, but the professional response to being called unprofessional is to ask for written examples and a followup meeting, not rage.
As far as the plan to save up in order to go off and sue people whose fathers are famous and well connected lawyers, I do not know the details, however on the surface it doesn't sound all that good a route to happiness, but at least you will find it easier to accomplish now that you have had your work promoted in the national press.
