People like me spend years learning Flash and then get thrown out like trash.
It's pretty exhausting.
This was a Flash programmers path :
1. Learn AS1
2. No job because everyone is switching to AS2 before you get "2 years experience"
3. Learn AS2
4. No job because everyone is switching to AS3 before you get "2 years experience"
5. Learn AS3
6. No job because Flash is dead before you get 2 years experience.
7. Learn HTML5
8. No job because nobody is really sure that Flash is dead.

This is 100% true. Tho I'm sure Flash is dying and will die if Adobe doesn't do something. When they didn't put out a 64bit version for Linux long ago I realize it was going down the drain. That was my first hint. Now browsers freeze and crash due to it. Unless they put some effort in making it better, I see HTML5 replacing it in the upcoming years. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong.
