I find the arguments here interesting. If I were to develop an OpenGL-based
app, I would probably need at least a week to get something basic working, and
I’m sure that applies to pretty much anyone. If someone can spend time learning
an SDK like OpenGL, then I don’t see what’s the problem with studying anything
else important for one’s work.
