Why does he have to work in south florida? Can't he work anywhere? He's writing software, not painting houses.

That's lost on me too. Why is it necessary for me to turn up 9-5? IAJD looking for work on evenings and weekends to supplement the day job, but on online dev project auctions I seem to be underbid by kids on $2/hour who can finish huge projects in next to no time.

I suspect without employers developing a mindset change my only alternative is to start my own business. Seems a bit extreme though.

Two years later, through blood and sweat, the project was then canceled because of limitations of Rails. Rails just wasn't meant to do everything since it is very much "canned" project. Mr. Sivers has written an entry in the O'Reilly blog: 7 reasons I switched back to PHP

This is a fine example of how going for new technology can mean disaster.Anybody who decides to perform a rewrite of any project should invest time to make sure the project will not be scraped... two years later."
