Someone who calls themselves an Apple developer and who doesn't work for Apple needs to consider expanding their horizons. Mobile developer? That's a little better. Or just, developer. It's a great time to be a developer.

You've missed, entirely, the point.

What Gruber is saying is that anyone who is developing for Apple's platforms is about to enjoy an enormous surge of opportunity. As these platforms see even further adoption, their capability will only increase. So if you're in Apple's playground, you're watching it turn into Disneyworld in a way that will never come again once these devices are baked into people's assumptions about how the world works.

Of course he is. That's all he ever does. Everything he says is worthless because you already know how lacking in substance the man is. Damn the Apple users who keep upvoting his garbage.

I wouldn't have put it so harshly myself, but I did see the article and immediately think "John Gruber is going to tell me to write software for Apple products." I would have been mildly interested to have been wrong.
