Juhana Räsänen I have been working with software since mid-80's and must say that boy, this field has changed a lot since those golden days of GW-Basic and big differences even smallest pieces of software made in how people worked.

I have been a university researcher, worked in product development in a fast growing software company and since 2006 as an independent consultant - however in all my positions I have been first and foremost a developer, a hands-on professional.

The most important skill of a developer? Learning! Frameworks, languages, even programming paradigms emerge, flourish and fade into oblivion, but a developer must avoid that fate by outliving the technologies.
