well, there is always going to be a niche market for cleverly
hand-crafted web-infrastructure solutions. personally, thats
the space i am interested in.
also, imo, the notion of building enterprise-ready app-infrastructures
overnight by deploying infrastrucutre components from some big-name
vendor may not always be feasible.
the size of the pond where people can get by with off-the-shelf
components is defintely bigger, i would agree. but you are never
gonna find the Amazons, the Yahoos, the Hotmails and the Valueclicks
get by with those.
so, if you, doug & jon start a company, dont you think every new
mod_perl based nich web company is gonna call on your combined
expertise! *dammit* start the company already! (and then hire me
to do the grunt mod_perl work :)
