I don't know about you, but I'm paid to perform(much like a live musician I suppose). I don't get residuals on my performance. I don't list myself as the writer or composer of my code and receive payment if someone uses or derives their own work from mine. My employer might.

I haven't seen anyone here saying musicians shouldn't get paid when they perform for an audience or for a certain purpose (let's say a commercial or soundtrack)

I've yet to see anyone make a test board on CNC that wouldn't have been made quicker and with better quality by using photoresist boards and etching them. And I have a pretty decent CNC mill.

The machines do some sanity checking. Most of the issues come from the machine being improperly informed about what is on the table(height or shape) or the length of the tool in the spindle. The tool length can be tested if you have the hardware, but it's more difficult to scan the whole table for stuff that might get in the way.

Back then you didn't have a lot of choice of what language to use, windows was MFC on visual studio and Mac was codewarrior(I think). The Mac and Windows versions were written by two separate teams even though we sat next to each other, and I can't think of any code shared between them, anything we could have shared would have been trivial to write from scratch. I have no explanation for the enormous size of the Mac version.

Are you under the impression that a sizable portion of those currently unemployed have the skills that Apple looks for in their employees? Or are you suggesting they start up a pastry shop, carwash and clothing conglomerate?
