+1 I loved using Nano for a long time before I picked up Vim. I don’t get the elitism either, Nano is a great editor.

I've heard of the SKU problem that e-commerce stores have to face with their vendors. Would you mind if I contacted you to learn more about it?

Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm getting the sense that your network is the most important source of steady work. Second to that would be having a niche skill. Is that accurate?

I’m the same age, with the same questions, and the same uncertainty. So you’re not alone. Maybe it has to do with the growing realization that we don’t have unlimited time? I’m not…

Fair point. I have quite a few code samples from libraries I've developed which I can provide. I just wanted to get some insight into the ambiguous criteria for "best".
