Philip Greenspun

Commercial software for the web was his first major writing topic,
but now aviation, travel, and standard of living.

software engineering jobs seem to be concentrated in parts of
the U.S. where the cost of living is very high, e.g., Silicon Valley,
Boston, and Washington, DC. Finally the methods of software
engineering haven't changed since either 1957 (if you program in an
imperative language such as C or Java) or 1970 (if you program in
SQL). This has made programmer careers more vulnerable to
offshoring than the careers of traditional engineers.
