I made five-page web sites when I was 15. I had published code, marketing (business cards!), customers, and more money than I would have gotten had I worked the help desk.

What's the point of engineering school?

I was being sarcastic, which admittedly is lost on the web.

Software dev is reduced as easily to an overly simplistic implementation as business savvy is. I think we're making the same point.

Well, now I feel like a jerk. Yeah, I couldn't tell that you were being sarcastic (which I guess is a point in of itself) -- my bad.
