There is an interesting study regarding the sociology of Cocoa Indie
developers at http://madebysofa.com/indiefever/ which I read and
enjoyed via http://daringfireball.net/.
My wife and I used to describe the various Cocoa developer forums,
WWDC, the old MacHack, Stepwise, etc. as my "island." I think we
started calling it that because I was "kicked off the island" once.
i.e. banned from Apple forums and shunned by some acquaintances. I
eventually scrambled back onto the island suitably chastised and
continue to wander the sunny but sometimes lonely beaches to this day.
The study seems accurate but a little shallow to me. If I had been
interviewed instead of merely cited, I would have pointed out how many
of the Cocoa developers in the "Indie" community have substantial
reputations in other areas. It's interesting to see how a familiar
community is presented to the outside.
