Idiot.

A personal attack cannot conceal the fact that I am right.

They don't, the integrator does.

It's not worth much to just write code and never compile or test it.

That's because you are an idiot.

That's because I have a legal license for everything I use, and because most
freeware is worth no more than you pay for it (otherwise nobody would be
buying the payware).

So you don't have Firefox, Adobe Reader, Flash Player, or anything else?

I have them, but those are only three downloads, not "piles" of downloads.

I would call a half million dollar contract a serious contract.

One person paid half a million dollars for writing uncompiled, untested code
with freeware at home?

SOMEONE has to compile and test the code, but it doesn't necessarily
have to be the person that wrote the code.

If it's not, the person who writes the code is worth a lot less.

I can see why you are not in IT and that you know about as much about
IT in the real world as you know about flying in the real world.

I know a lot about IT, so I'm much harder to lead astray than I might be in
aviation, and even in aviation I can detect who is blowing smoke most of the
time.

OP: You can get work as a coder you do at home.

YOU: I probably don't have the infrastructure.

ME: I've paid such coders nearly $100,000 in the last year who's
infrastructure consists of a PC and an Internet connection, so
infrastructure isn't a big deal.

How many coders, how much work did they do, and what were they paid
individually? What workflow? How many bugs did you detect and have to send
pack after your remote compilation and integration?

The bottom line is that there are people in the world doing coding at
home where the infrastructure expense on top of the PC and Internet
connection is zero and who are making a LOT of money.

How much money is a lot of money?

The biggest problem I had with these people was that they are so busy
with other work we had to juggle schedules to get things done.

If they make a lot of money doing this work, why do they have so much of it?

If you weren't such a whining, incompetent loser, and actually had
any IT talent, you could have been one of them and made a big chunk
of the $100,000 for a few months work.

A big chunk of $100,000 is not a lot of money.
