I agree that ARS Developers are a dying breed. There are four things that, I feel, have led to our demise:
1. Very Bad, Very Expensive custom systems that never delivered on the promise. 2. The Buzz word of the day, be it ITIL, SARBANES-OXLEY, Best Practices...etc gives Executives rationalization for buying not building 3. Catch 22, a lack of skilled developers makes companies look for off the shelf solutions reducing the market fo skilled developers. 4. Ignorance, No one wants to take the time to understand their processes, review cost benefit analyses or examine the possibities of how it could be done better and faster.
