I do find it amusing, in a dark and twisted way, how people seem to think that programming is easy. It's as easy as writing a novel.

You can still make just as many WTFs with web programming as you can in D3D programming. The difference is, you can screw up more peoples' lives with web programming if you're not careful.

I suppose.
And I was joking about the bsod. At least I didn't hear from these :P
