BTW, does the kid sister rule only apply to the lounge or something? Seems kinda dumb since kid sisters I'm sure are smart enough to click links to take them outside of the lounge.

Well, if he gave me just one percent of his money, I would retire and start hobbying myself with visual studio. But I'm sure that he'll never give money to someone to use a product of a competitor...

Perhaps. I've had clients where I feel like I'm losing money. Fixed price contracts come in mind. Monthly retainers where the client expects 80 hour weeks.
It's a lot easier to lose money working than it is to make money working.

cost plus award fee baby... that's all I'm sayin' FFP just never works out, especially for new clients, as you're _never_ going to get the requirements pinned down on the first pass. If it's a client i've worked for in the past and I'm familiar with their domain and needs, then maybe I'll go FFP just to be competitive. If they don't go for a CPAF proposal, then I was probably better off not getting the contract anyway.

It is better for your clients if you use what makes you happy though. Disgruntled programmers don't produce great code.

You should aim for a win-win situation when choosing a programming language and development environment. This means maximum profit for both parties
WM.
What about weapons of mass-construction?

win-win is nice to think about but often leads to compromise-compromise and ends up with nobody being happy.
But yes. That was my point, matching happy developers with happy clients rather than the developer taking on any project regardless of whether they like developing in what the client needs.

Exactly.

Because when you make more money, typically you improve your chances of having more fun, and you implicitly have a job (hence more money), the future of the environment really doesn't matter and your company buys the tools for you. So, as with most things in life, get more money and everything else falls into place.

Highly not true, imho! For me, making good money is a necessary (bit not sufficient) condition.

Agreed, but whatever problems you have, it'd be easier to solve them if you had money than if you didn't
