As a web developer, I completely support the quick death of IE6, but interestingly enough I know plenty of corporate IT developers who work on internal applications that are only required to work with IE6 because that's the company's standard browser.

Your point was well made and astute readers will see that.

Proud to write that I've tackled the first five on this list. :) During my first, uh, eight years of modern-day pro/am coding life, most of my efforts were fumbling attempts that didn't go very far. My success rate shot WAY up when I learned three lessons: (1) ALWAYS design before coding. (2) Don't start ANY project unless and until (a) you have a really solid idea of what you want to accomplish and (b) you know you have the bandwidth for it. If (!(a && b)), then just write down your ideas in a text file and sock 'em away for another day. (3) If a project is going nowhere (i.e., if either (a) or (b) suddenly becomes false), stick it in an "Abandoned Projects" folder. This allows you to dispense with the constant nagging to finish that pain-in-the-ass project, but you can always dust it off and start working on it at a later date. - David Stein :lol: Great article.

The Valley is important for attracting VC, and possibly employees, but other than that it's pointless. "In our distributed world, why in the world would I want to live in an overpriced or underbuilt area?" I've been voicing this for years, but not so succinctly. Glad to hear Lu Wang was semi-joking.
