A brief Break to talk more on Comments (before I talk about comments)

Great tip to the disqus team Shana. Applying technologies to new needs is the entrepreneurial instinct. Now all you need to do is figure out a way to profit from those concepts
I'm in the midst of the maelstrom now, desparately seeking super sharp web programmers with zero funding (it's a tough sell )

You know, this kind of comment makes me wonder what will happen to me…
I'm working on the second problem re: newspapers, which is where I think the money is at. Now if only I knew to code/found a job this would be easier. My analysis is ok for a young'un starting out I suppose.

You always have a choice, you can make a living playing armchair coach (blogging trends is plenty of fun), or if you cone across something that you think is important enough you can make a commitment. If you had a big following or a focused following of dedicated engineers you could probabaly just write and let the tech gurus make it all happen. The problem is that you may be the only one with enough passion to champion a technology or start a community. Or you may never have enough influence to persuade others to build your ideas.

It's why I decided to start blogging (who's going to share my ideas but me) and web programming even though I am seriously challenged at both. I believe they are important so I do them

Good advice, but I find myself a bit hampered by technology- I also realize
that being around people in real life is helpful- and not necessarily being
around people who came out of engineering land either. Sometimes people
come later in life to passion. And sometimes, the idea of working in a
homework bound environment sounds really unappealing and terrifying, sick in
your stomach terrifying, because you feel like you are in a room with all
sort of people where the grades are all that matter, when in fact, they
don't. I wish I could learn it like a craftsperson, en studio, in a group,
in collaboration, ala a tradesperson. But that is a personal preference of
someone who enjoys craft. I want to work with people finding solutions, and
thinking up of answers, not finding out how to make games that doesn't
explain how some language works. I generally see even the most scientific
things as an artists craft, becasue how else do you know when you got the
right soultion- you do it over and over, until you get there, with much
practice, the same way the artist would. The training is actually very
similar, but mass studio work is very unapprecaited as a way of working in
classes, where things are always in progress and you look and talk to people
while they work to get them better is not something I generally see in comp
sci classes. Very hands off.

What a comprehensive and interesting blog. Really nice to read it. Please include more details if possible.
