Are people really that good at duping themselves?
Seems metacognition, the ability to reflect on one's own thought process, would be a really good cure for such cognitive dissonance.

Yeah, that is a blatant imbalance.
Why, OP, are you not working as a developer?
Honest question, not trying to be negative or anything.

OP learned a very valuable lesson: people don't always play fair, and politics/appearances count for a lot in business.
The lesson was learned very cheaply, all things considered.

I would of course add "The good parts" by Crockford to the list.
But maybe that is just par for the language course, before one even starts to wants to master Engineering :)

Something that would be cool: implementing X-Windows in JS, using HTML for rendering. So you could run your desktop applications remotely in the browser.
You'd have to tunnel the X protocol somehow to Ajax or Websockets, of course, but that should be quite easy.
