Answer 1

I am not a developer. I am an aspiring author
researching the lives of Java developers for a
fiction project. One of the characters I am
developing IS a Java developer - NOT a MS/.Net
developer. I would greatly appreciate info about
being a Java (and/or related technology) developer.What's there to say? It sucks.
The content can be very technical but should have
some "leisure time" posts. I work around these
technologies from the marcom perspective, so I
understand a certain level of what is being
discussed. I am really inspired by the wit, spirit,
passion (and sometimes 'disgruntledness') inherent to
the world of Java developers.Eh?
