It's past the time I can edit my comment, but I agree with your post (you've basically stated what I attempted to, in a much clearer fashion.) 4 years of full time dev work is far more valuable career wise than the average 4 years

It makes sense if you can gather the skills necessary previously to start working a developer right out of mandated schooling. If you continue on your current path, you'll have 4+ years of developer experience and a network of business

Not sure how much value my data point is worth to you, but yes, I use email for personal communication. I also use most of the RTC/IM methods as well, but email is the best communication tool because it allows for a wide variety of con

Not one company should be bailed out. If a business fails, those who think they can run that sort of company better should step in and buy the assets and give it a go. In the many or most cases where companies have built what has become cor

Seeing as they're shutting down the company/service in a week, they're probably out of cash. While it sucks for your customers, that's what happens when you run out of money. It sucks for everyone. I'm guessing they

The preservation of and digitization of records is probably more important than the family tree project. So many records are completely lost/destroyed during wars over the years, hopefully having proper copies/backups made during

The market is: businesses and governments that cannot afford to use anything less secure. For this niche, their phone could be $1000, they're still going to buy BlackBerry because it is the only thing that checks all the boxes and prov

I would wager that this is because most of Avatar is not live-action, but CG, with real people added in. Spend enough money/time and live-action people fit in really well to CG environments.

Perhaps this is another incentive to start/incorporate companies in countries where larger companies have large cash piles and low taxes where a higher priced acquisition might happen compared to what would happen in the United States.
