I've thought about this a lot, though I'm not planning on getting that kind of money any time soon. My plan would be to invest a lot of the money and then go back to school. I'd get a couple more master degrees as well as try

I would think there would need to be some sort of name change so that it doesn't interfere with future releases or to dictate differences (such as Jenkins/Hudson). But I'm not sure exactly how that would work

Family Tree DNA did this at one point. Not only that but they took any password and converted it to uppercase. So aHa is the same as AHa and AHA, etc. I was less than ecstatic when I found that out

This can definitely depend on the technology and the use case. For instance, I'm building a .NET desktop application and started using WinForms since I have several years experience with it. I scrapped that and started using XAML for t
