I'm not your tutor.
So, I know a lot about Macs. It's kinda my job to know about the platform on which I work, and I've just always been a little fanatical about Apple computers. My coworker has been working on a Mac for one year, and she's just bought a Mac laptop. And she has not stopped asking me questions all day about basic functions of the OS, and things that, as a professional web developer, she kinda shoulda had down pat years ago. Things you should know no matter what type of computer you're developing on.
I'd like to help. I was enthusiastic when we started a few hours ago. But you need more help than I have time to give right now. Can you not tell that I'm uncomfortable right now? Can you not do a little tinkering on your own time? Or is because you're a contractor, so ALL time is technically "your time?"
People talk about the "brain drain" that's happening to Google these days, what with all the early employees becoming vested (read: becoming multi-millionaires) and suddenly realizing they don't have to work anymore.
Has anyone given any media time to the general "brain drain" that just kinda happens on a daily basis for the small internet businesses that surround silicon valley? Because, as far as I can tell, none of the contractors or employees in the companies I've seen actually have much knowledge in their field. I'd imagine, since Yahoo, Google and all those huge companies tend to gobble up all the smarties, that all us small companies are left with the dregs. I've counted myself among the dregs for a while, but that's because I was getting back into the swing of things. But now...my peers are holding me back. How can someone be solely in the business of web development and still be stuck with a 1994 skillset?
God, I sound like a cock.
