There is so much noise out there. I want to know who is going to survive the bubble burst (like Google/Yahoo/Amazon/EBay did last time around). Everything else is a waste of time and energy. I find it crazy how crowded some of the markets are... how people come in, see del.icio.us/youtube, go "I can do it better", and make yet another clone... and then wonder why they only get a fifth of the audience.

It's the same as 15 years ago, when "being online" by itself was the next big thing. It will subside once all the big players incorporate social networking elements in their services, which is soon.

I love my job as a web developer. I am passionate about my job. I am passionate about educating myself. I think this is why 'jealousy' creeps in when I see people who don't really know what they are doing creating 'professional' work. Now, that isn't the case for all - there are many I am flat out impressed with their incredible work. It's not always the myspace's or other sites getting loads of traffic/money - it's the ones charging 100K for an application when at the core it is a piece of junk. I have been in corporate environments where this happened, and I feel bad for the company buying the stuff - not the shabby developers who didn't take time to learn their stuff. So, jealousy rears it's head in several different ways. Sometimes it is at a great product, and sometimes it is at a shabby product. I have really tried lately to lose that sense of 'being loud'. There is already enough noise out there now, I am at the point where I will just do my work to the best of my ability and please the clients I am working with. I am not, and will not be, the next myspace or killer app. Wow, this post is incredible, and for me, hit the nail on the head in several different ways. I love my job as a web developer.
