In short Paul Rand tells Steve I will make you one design and I will solve your problem. Since then I believe he has given designers (Jon Ive in this case) their space to design whatever they want. Trust in the designer.
I could of also summed this up in a sentence or two. "Kid invents youtube instant and everybody wants to hire him." I don't doubt that he's smart but this article seems a bit ridiculous. It seems like tech stars are the next celebrities. So long to the days of nerds with the neck beard. Oh yeah, and actually making money.
Please excuse the rant, had to let it out.
I'm sure we'll be better off without gossip on Arrington or techcrunch.
I'm wondering how I can leave the web designer/developer field and move in a programming community. What steps should I take to emerse myself in the programming world. Knowing to program is obvious but how do I find work being an entry level programmer? It seems like all the jobs out there want pros.
