I don't know if this is a bug. But if you go on redirect and search webOS, there is only 3 position available.

Maybe I'm just making things up in my head, but I swear around when you are in CA or shortly after something new or some news comes out. This could just be my own insanity, but knowing you keep having to come back feels like good things to me.


Plus it's good to hear you are getting steady work!

Just to be positive, remember don't have to be a webOS developer to develop for/with webOS... really just need to have some web developing background

I hear there were quite a few people in the us without jobs.. right? Also the job offerings were around for some months now. I'm pretty positive that quite a lot of them are taken. Someone needs to build webos for that LG television... :-p

And someone who could get a job coding for HP/Palm/webOS with knowledge of JS/HTML/etc could never code C/C++/Objective C/etc....

Oh and have you heard of WebOS Ports? Not sure if you know from your post, they aren't HP employees and coding at that hardware level you are speaking of... Thanks though for clarifying...

@dignitary,

There's also another difference. When a guy is working on C/C++ code, he only needs to know a handful of compiler bugs and quirks, so theory goes a long way. In web development however, theory doesn't always equal fact, and W3C recommendations are just that, recommendations. The code gets interpreted by a number of different browsers, and versions thereof, not to mention add-ons such as screenreaders for the blind. There are bugs that almost defy logic and absolutely **** off the theory-driven programmer.

Web development takes patience, logic, and sometimes more patience with the bugs, although browsers are becoming more standardized with each day. Compiled code takes concentration and attention to detail. Both take a good understanding of the API and environment at hand.

I don't mean to argue with what you say, just to add to it. There are many people i met who would much rather work on something predictable and who avoided web dev work at all costs for those exact reasons.
