I can back you up - most "born to hack" types
can't stand being pushed into "leadership"
or "management" roles, and the de-skilling and
"cheap labor" trends are doing just that. If
the OP is a technically-competent and technically-
trained person that actually WANTS the non-
programming work, he's the exception. I'd
think he could capitalize on that.
Instead of hiding behind the camera the whole time, actually interact and play with your kid. The videos and memories aren't as interesting as who the kid will become.
That's an incredibly narrow sentiment ! The video is NOT only enjoyable immediately and/or short-term for adult relatives. In fact, its probably far more enjoyable and/or beneficial for the child's own eventual children and descendants, who will always enjoy experiencing what their parent/grandparent was like as a child. After all:
"Who Knows only his own Generation remains always a child."

I think he was more complaining that it seems that's what OTHERS
think... I tend to agree - the hordes of wanna-be's blindly
applying what they *think* conforms to tauted "best practices",
application of patterns being one of the most abused, is
staggering.
