“advanced users” on forums are rarely very representive of users as a whole.

[email protected] is a good place to go for stories like this.

Dev jobs are not hard to come by and they pay very well. It’s not like being a day laborer or something where we are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Have a little courage.
