I have to say that apart from a lot of answers I never would have
gotten otherwise -- many given to others -- the coolest part about
lists like Evolt is the inspiration. To realize, you know, that
these people who can just breathe out something complex and cool,
they taught themselves just like anybody else for the most part; and
if I pay attention and work on doing things well, eventually, I can
do it too.
I feel an interesting sense of 'community', knowing that many other
independent web developers (and a few who aren't independent) are
also familiar with the working 24/7 live on a string overworked
overcoded chronic deadline kind of life -- we have all spent far too
much time working at 2am, drinking too much caffeine, and eating
pizza or top ramen 'cause it's faster and/or cheaper than 'real'
meals. Working on your own can be a pretty lonely job in a way,
especially if you work a lot of hours. A sense of community.... no
matter how virtual.... helps a lot. Thanks, Evoltians. -- Palyne
