Where do all the programmers go?

Having been in the software development game for about 15 years I have seen a fair few different types of organisations. Imagine in an organisation with 20 programmers, there is only so many opportunities for promotion within the business.  For example, a few might move on to become Business Analysts, 1 or 2 may become Software Architects and other 1 or 2 might become Project Managers.

Based on this gues’timate there should be a whole generation of senior senior developers, who are happy to just do their thing and write code, but I don’t commonly see this.  Where do all the programmers go?

Json Builder for Dot Net

A while ago I was working with Flot, and while I found the JSON based configuration really simple, adding in multiple series with a fair few data points soon became a nightmare to get together in my ASP.NET MVC ViewPage.

So I put together a neat little Fluent Flot library which can be used to build up the Flot JSON configuration object using C# inside your viewpage.  The core of this is the JsonBuilder.cs file, which I have included below.  It was a neat way to build up a valid JSON string without having to use a string builder directly.
