It makes sense to me. Programmers who can program - and don't want to stop working as employees - give up programming to pursue higher paying careers, such as project management. Actually, many "programmers" nowadays can get by simply copying and pasting code from the Internet. If you ask them how things work, they don't know. That's my experience.

I dont really understand this line "Some registrars offer to hide your contact info, but then they will own of your domain."

I would not recommend studying Java (the language) in depth, since basic knowledge is enough to interact with libraries. However, because of the Law of Leaking Abstractions (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/LeakyAbstractions.htm...), you better know Java (the platform and its tools) inside-out.

Why would this be bad? If you are developing commercial software you want to keep closed-source, look for a commercial closed-source license.
I have been loving Perl until I knew sound languages. Then I realized all the time it made me waste.
I can't wait for a printed book about this new language.
