@tonyarnold You've had much more impact than most people I know - specifically with Reveal on a LOT of developers, but also more locally with the people who have been lucky enough to work with you.
As for career, that's a very personal question. I felt the same - in fact I felt I'd gone significantly backwards. But then I realised I don't really care. I'd rather be a good developer working with good people than have a high fallutin' job title and be miserable.
