Im a software programmer(c/++,c#,vb,…etc) that started a few mouths ago a website project for help and fun. but..

Dealing with all those browser compatibility issue is really a PAIN. Website desing suck. There should be a law to support completly those oppen standard (like css) and not introduce bug (ie ;-().

I dont count the hours lost, trying to make the website look the same in every browser.

I couldn’t agree more. I’ve been designing websites and web applications for 10 years and even have 2 patents and I flat out hate it. Programming has paid nicely and I love my Porsche but browser compatibility, constantly changing standards and people that just don’t seem to get how time consuming and nit picky crating a professional website can be. I’m trying to phase it out of my business but can’t seem to get away from it. It’s to the point now that I almost would rather work in fast food then write another piece of code.

“It is as if the internets does not want you to be creative, because if you try to be, you will be punished by having to spend countless hours working on one tiny detail of your site”

With all due respect, you misunderstand the differentiation between “web design” and “web development”.

My time is short to post this, but it needs to be understood that “web design” is the primary emphasis of your article, post or whatever. “Web Development”, however, is concentrated towards making your website “do things”. I know I may be acting like an elitist here, but it is an important thing to understand.

Web design pertains to making your website look pretty while web development pertains to the mechanics of it (and no, this has nothing to do with the browser stuff). Take the saturation of PHP / MySQL developers out there… Do you think they spend most of their time screwing around with how a website looks in Opera versus Internet Explorer 6? No, as a matter of fact, they instead worry about adding new facilities such as search engines, archival and posting capabilities, user roles, etc. This, in turn, is actual web development.

…Just for the record, though–your article covers many aspects of frustrations in which I share with you. I hate almost anything web design (and especially, web development) because it just tends to wind up being “too much”. All the crap with web standards, programming paradigms and information architecture… Oh my! What a waste of time for anyone wanting a social life or decent body image.
