This is a simple but a fantastic idea.


I think before anyone signs up, you really need to publish some example holidays. i need to be able to compare against what is currently on the market as to what i am getting. How would your offer compare to: http://www.holidaypirates.com/holidaypackages/3-nights-in-mo... say?


Because the first development team I joined worked with a dying language, and then I moved to different teams using a language that was losing ground to things like Rails, Python, .Net (read anything really). I haven't kept myself up to date, instead blaming my tools (my 7 year old laptop with no battery) or the fact I have a partner/life and thus too busy to do (home)work in my spare time.

But i'm in a comfortable position too. I have a team who respects me and my input, I have good friends at work who i would hang out with any day of the week, I have decent holiday, increasing pay, great benefits... but I won't make my company a $million company, nor will I change the position of this company in many significant ways. Tech is not their focus, so suggesting we use Neo4J goes on deaf ears.

and so i'm still writing a language that should be dead... that few other companies would take a chance on me because of this... and still i walk the earth


errr why are they not allowed?
