This is my opinion as well. Many people still believe that programming equals a unique and high paying job. It is not ut is quite boring and you have to be the guy that always says yes and deliver no matter what, much like a factory worker.

It is not. Just work at a large and stable company and you are set.

This feels like something only a woman could put forward or demand in a relationship based on their value in the dating market. A man would be in a much higher risk of being left with the same arrangement.

Nothing I motivate my self. Without the company I would get no experience to build and no where to exercise my skills in an production environment where I make an contribution.

So much this. And the biggest fools are the programmers that believe that they are unique wizards working magic and being special. They are simply factory workers working under an illusion.

But are there any new games made for the console?

This is why i find it so much fun to do applications on windows with .net you only need to know one language C# or VB.net and then you are set. You can create anything with just this, of course it will only work on windows but i dont mind, it just such a pleasure to only have one toolset and then just focus on the task at hand.

Don't forget to mention the racism that is getting bigger and bigger here in sweden. I am a native swede my self and i know how we talk and think. The swedish democrats are real proof of how the whole population is starting to show its true face.

If you are white sweden will be great, but if you are anything other than white you will be in a quite cold hell where people do not like you.

I think the reason why it is hard to get native friends is that many swedes truly are racist. I am a native swede my self and i know how swedes talk to each other when alone, and the rise of the swedish democrats is also a big proof of the racism(that also is getting bigger) in sweden.

Its not impossible tho and the racism here is more similar to the one in japan, its not visible on the surface but you will never be a part of the community. But! there is good people everywhere you go, you just need to look for them.

I know how to program, but most of the stuff i want to program are too complex/advanced for me to create.

If it was as simple to read one book to be good at math I would be an engineer a long time ago with all the tuition and help i got thru my years in school.

It makes me wonder why canonical is wasting effort on ubuntu mobile.

Not everyone can learn math. I my self had brilliant and great math tutors that my parents hired for me. I event went to special private math classes with brilliant math teachers and i tried to the best of my abilities to get good at it and pass the advanced math courses in highschool. Still i suck greatly at math and i always will.

I am very grateful for all the help my parents provided for me without it i would not pass even the first math classes in highschool.

I probably wont be programming that much, if i do not work with a legacy system. The type of programming i do is mostly putting a simple gui on top of a database, in a decade we will have automated that task and making a database application will be as simpel as doing a powerpoint presentations. If i do not move up to management or find a niche i will be out of a job, because i do not have the capacity to figure out the hard parts of programming.
