I, for one, get really annoyed with our "lol web programmers are teh suxxors" overlords.
As it turns out, Jeff says exactly what I'm thinking. I _am_ into compilers. I'm writing an OS as a side project. I code in Haskell for fun. But I love web programming, and these two quotes are the most succinct way I've seen it written:
> The web is the most efficient, most pervasive, most immediate distribution network for software ever created.
> As a software developer, I am happiest writing software that gets used.
As Jeff says, yeah, there's a lot of bad web apps. But there are also a lot of bad desktop apps. The "web programmers suck" crowd seems to ignore that fun little fact.
