#2His story shows that they kind of should, though. Domain knowledge is great and all, but there's no need to be stuck in something for an entire lifetime, you can learn new things.

#3Great post. There is research done at the MiT that also supports the fact that intelligent people (ppl with high iqs) find it difficult to make choices and stick to them even after having known which choice is most likely to benefit them the most.
Stability is hugely under rated these days.

His examples are wrong though, it's much better to move from being a drugdealer into other legal businesses, even with the cost of learning, than to stay where you are. So yes, drug dealers should make iPhone apps (or buy realestate etc...)

#6> And a person successful in selling web apps or in selling drugs is not a successful mobile developer.
is webapps -> mobile apps as big a leap as drug dealing -> real estate?
isn't it likely that, within 5 years, many mobile apps will actually be webapps?

#9His view is pretty conservative. Sometimes the interesting thing about apps written from another, outsider perspective is that they approach it in creative ways most people in that niche have not yet thought of. I think the author is parroting the figure of speech "Jack of all trades, master of none" or perhaps the french "Qui trop embrasse, mal etreint"
