I appreciate the advice, but I'm a couple steps ahead of you. I spent 10 years mastering my trade (UI) working in San Francisco and Palo Alto and Menlo Park, and that's when I saved enough money to allow myself to work on this for the last 5 years.

And fortunately I don't need anyone's permission. It's just too late to stop the wave of change that's coming now. After 5 decades, the punchcard is finally going to be retired as the primitive at the heart of all programming.
