This one's for anyone writing code who's ever wondered how to cash in on their skills. This New Yorker item details the world of agents for nerds, vividly depicting how a bedroom or basement genius can connect with big cash...sometimes.

ADDED:

Best quote, from logo designer and branding expert Mark Mian.... "Creativity is a fickle mistress, but when the booty call comes in, you've got to go."

Amen to that!
