   The consumer facing side requires no access keys so he's good. The admin side does however, so the assumption is that only a select few (one person really) is responsible for administration. You could add SimpleDB to the mix to store hash d

   The article's not bad. His main focus, and he states it, is not to constantly learn new languages for the sake of profit. As a hobby cool, but not for profit. I can agree with that. There are all sorts of topics you could learn for fun and

   I'm with ya on rewriting code to make it cleaner. Maybe it's OCD, but who cares. It's one of the joys of coding to me. And yeah, sometimes it's costly, but sometimes it's very beneficial, and regardless it's like an itch.

   This is all about business processes, application integrations, and integrity (and security) of data. Think SOA, ESB. Combine that with Utility computing (Amazon EC2, IBM, Microsoft, and Google also entering that space eventually) and many

    Making any kind of assumptions like this is retarded. The coder umbrella covers too much. Assembly line coders in a large corp are completely different than a freelancer etc. Different skills, different motivators, just plain different. Com

    I think it's doable if you're a smart coder and can find an equally really smart coder in China, India, etc. that's on the same page. Easier said than done of course. But if you can communicate well with the individual, make use of various

    Hard to say. One of those things you just need to figure out for yourself over time. I do really recommend adding exercise and a non-computer hobby to the mix though. Makes a ton of difference for your well being and happiness.

    Works for me. I pop by daily and can relate to the community. As it gets bigger, the community will change which will completely change the content. This is a good thing though, even if it ceases to interest me. It's still doing what it sho
