Unfortunately our industry is not mature.

It may be because the industry is young? It may also be because it is easy to get into? Essentially ANYONE can get into it overnight.

Most artisans spend years learning their art and then venture on their own so they can share their passion with others. If they can't do the work to their high level if standards they don't do it. If it is a matter of special skill or tool needed they will simply refer you to the best. If it is a task that no one should do, they will tell you no because they care about what they do and the art they are in. They will not compromise the unwritten rules of their trade for a dollar.

Not in technology. Everybody is the expert in everything. They don't know who to refer you to and they will do whatever is asked of them. Regardless.

There are few relics left. Those who started when IT all started. Those who were apprentices to the bright minds that envisioned and layed the foundation for eveything we use today.

Now you can just get a template web site, stock logo, and you are an expert.

Unfortunately customers are the ones that suffer.

Hopefully the industry grows up soon.
