    It's interesting that programmers working outside of a corporate environment produce such amazing products. Hmmm... I wonder what's up with that?

    Don't forget what you can't see. There's a lot of programmers working outside corporate environments that does NOT produce amazing products. It is obvious to me that corporations often trade excellence for reliability and schedules since people's salaries must be paid. What would you rather have personally, the worlds best program in 2032 (and no income until then) or a working program 2007 (and getting paid every year until 2032). I'm opting for the stable income to support a family. If you go for more reward later, you're the type who will start their own company and write the next google. That's cool too.
