It's a bad time to be a good web developer


Had this thought today while talking with a colleague at work, we are currently transitioning between many browsers as some are on the rise, others dying out – but one thing is for sure, we’ve past the time where developers had to check their website in IE and Firefox (if you had time) and that was good enough. With people buying more Macs, the Safari people are starting to have their say in the misaligned floating div wars, Internet Explorer 8 just came out, but people are mostly on 7, while a bunch (15% according to w3schools, using stats of their users) of dinosaurs are still lagging on IE6. Then you gotta make sure the Chromers are happy since they already have 3% in less than a year and moving up fast, and if you’re lucky enough that your css hasn’t exploded in a million pieces a few times, you can check Opera and then maybe pat yourself on the back…

I’m all up for choice and having options when it comes to choosing whatever technology suits you best, but we web people should all get raises or something, you know…
