说道：You will be best prepared to suceecd if you can write your own requirements, write code, write markup, develop your own styles, be your own DBA, be your own system administrator, and do your own testing. I whole-heartedly disagree. The biggest symptom of an inefficient software development environment is that it takes weeks to get anything done. If you are your own DBA and sys admin, doing things like adding columns and opening up ports takes minutes, rather than weeks. I wouldn't have it any other way.I work in an IT department for a medium-sized company, and I love it. I work with cutting edge technologies (Ajax, Rails, Postgres, Ubuntu), I have exactly one layer above and below me, and I spend exactly 1 hour a week on bureaucratic BS. Everybody in the department shares responsibilities equally, so there's nobody who gets defensive about owning a portion of a project (or server or database), because it belongs to everybody.This approach isn't going to work for everybody. It requires that you spend a lot of time searching for the right candidates. And it necessitates (but allows) a smaller-than-average IT department. But it works great for us.

说道：Hey Chris / John Q, I agree with the sidebar being a lltite empty and not fully maximized. Although simple is better than cluttered in my opinion, A widget that displays the top posts and top comments and even a better widget (maybe intertwined with the last couple) displaying the different categories. Something nice and clean to go with the rest of the site.A Start here page is definitely an asset for new readers to get an idea of the valuable information they will learn by sticking around.I think maybe a better pen name or a lltite more persona would be great as well. I'm sure many people use pen names but John Q is like using John Smith. People know right away that it's probably fake and it kind of takes away a lltite bit of the credibility factor. I ask myself Who am I listening to? Is he really a financial analyst? or just someone pretending to be. I suppose you may not be willing to add a picture but maybe just some great images that involve money or the industry to spruce it up a lltite.Great job. Like the colors. Hope you do well with it!
