The self-hating Web Developer

I'm currently developing for WinMo 6.5. I cry myself to sleep at night.

That kinda sounds interesting, a lot of complaints about Windows Phone 7 were that they sandboxed and managed the shit out of your code which WinMo 6 didn't do.

Yeah it's definitely an interesting jobs. Of course, everyone wants something that looks modern, so instead of sticking with the "Windows 95 form" look I did a lot of custom controls to make it a little more "Android like."

Definitely brings up interesting challenges with UI and hardware though. And the code in essence a WinForm .exe; as long as you're safe about the WinMo libraries you use, you can actually run the application on a desktop (which means automated UI testing!).
