		<description><![CDATA[Being a programmer, you have an invaluable skill that you need to learn to harness. Investors realize this already which is why they&#8217;ll spend stacks of cash to have you build them something that&#8217;ll someday be profitable.

You&#8217;re suggesting its rare to have instances disappear yet it happened twice in less than 6 months.
