There's more to flash than video. The company I work for uses flash extensively for interactive multi-touch kiosks. Like those big maps in shopping malls. As a Rails developer I was very opinionated when I came here. But seeing the incredib

Often people say "Don't roll your own security" but the reality is that developers aren't trying to roll their own. They are trying to solve a problem, and if a quick google doesn't turn up a good library then they'll try and figure it out.

Not sure where you've been looking, I've heard of decent offers in Australia. If you've been applying for corporate IT jobs then no surprise, but you can do well over here.

We'll see. Lots of people getting on the Startup bandwagon at the moment. Some of them are helped along by PushStart and StartMate (YC-style incubators). Others are finding their own way. Some cool things are going on and other stuff has ha

Most software is built by people being employed by someone who has enough money to pay for them to build whatever they want. If that person with the money wants to build a shitty ripoff then a shitty ripoff is being built.

In both worlds high-stakes businesses are going to stick to the "stable" release while personal projects explore the new waters. Django's failure to make the shift has resulted in all those personal projects not making the shift. Django, fr
