You and I are in agreement, that no one's experience is universal. That is why I was compelled to respond to aerzen, who was very much claiming that his experiences and viewpoints are universal across all developers.

Odd that you responded to me saying this, as I made no claims about my experience being universal, I was quite obviously just speaking for myself as an exception to their universal claims. Go read the parent comment again, you still have time to edit yours and point it in the right direction.
