    Search for church content management system companies, etc and apply for jobs on their dev teams. You would have valuable product insights.

    I don't see why it couldn't be done by almost anyone given that they live close enough to work. Anything less than 10 miles is doable assuming you have a good route.

    I've cycled through winters with wind chill in the -15F range and up to a half foot of snow on the ground. So, it is more than doable to do in both those cities.

    You've already answered your question. Be someone that does non-f500 for a decade, then slowly introduce the f500 features and in a decade you'll be where you want to be.

    As an experiment, I was able to do this in under 3 minutes with ruby. I'd say I'm an average programmer.

    I understand your suspicion, however, I find it odd that the author couldn't code AND recorded a video discussing his code. It seems like he'd hide it away if he couldn't code.
