Hi,
I know this is tangential to Cocoa programming, but where exactly
do people find employment doing Cocoa programming?
I wish I knew. :-(
Aren't there supposed to be people doing bioinformatics work on
PowerMacs?
Yes, but that has very little to do with Cocoa. Most of the tools
they're using are command-line and/or X11 apps, and the folks that are
using them aren't, for the most part, terribly picky about interface
usability. (If you're used to using CDE, it can hardly get worse...) So,
not a lot of Cocoa front-ends are being written for that stuff.
I made a conscious decision to learn Objective-C and Cocoa this
year, and I think I've gotten fairly adept, but it isn't helping me get
a job. It's looking more and more like I should have taken up C# or at
least updated my Java skills. I like the Cocoa environment, and would
love a job working in it, but the market seems to be saying otherwise.
I hate to say it, but I agree with you. There aren't many jobs out
there - and we're competing with 15-year NeXT veterans for those. It's
discouraging.
The truth is, though, I'd rather retrain and become a chef than support
MS in any way. Seriously.

If you listen to a UNIX shell, can you hear the C?
