That's the conclusion I'm left with after dealing with three business bureaucracies this year: Comcast, Verizon, and American Airlines.

…self-education approach for me is: teach myself iOS development first, Android development eventually, perhaps Appcelerator , and barring any dramatic changes in circumstance, don't bother with anything else. I'd love to learn how to develop for all the mobile platforms, but I just haven't got the time.
Update: I added the graph from Splat F, which David Janes pointed me to. Thanks, David!

I hope David continues to share his thoughts about Ruby. …
