I wonder if industrial software has enough developers, compared to web developers, and if one could compare the added value of web versus the industry.

I tend to think the web is more volatile and more oriented towards sales, ads and services, which in my mind are somehow "less important" than industrial software.

Of course every developer makes his own choice, but I'll always be more condescendent towards web techs in general, versus industrial, sometimes C-oriented programming. Maybe it comes from my technical teaching where I learned programming.
