I feel in some parts of the world/community these skills are not understood or appreciated. And I happen to be in that part of the world. So my advice would be as follows a) do what you like doing and keep on doing it. b) learn, experiment, learn, experiment .. learn, experiment c) remember: Software development is one of the most challenging (mentally,socially), and rewarding (mostly mentally) job and let no one else tell you otherwise.

We talked for almost three hours, about technology trends and software engineering issues. What makes it so great that I have learned a lot from talking to Christopher, so much as to define the way I do somethings now-a-days. You can imagine how it would be for some one fresh out of college, with passion for software and software development to talk to some one with 10 years of software development experience.
