The Many Faces of Development and Design, Face I: The Importance of Learning
December 11th, 2006Becoming a web developer is like finally learning to ride a bike then realizing that real bikes only have two wheels. So, you take off the training wheels and try again, and again, and again. You can finally ride, but now all your friends are buying dirt bikes.
