I'm clipping a comment instead of the actual blog post, even though that is also a great read. I just thought the comment was very thought provoking.

They will have a really good grasp of their primary GPL and will have moderate knowledge of SQL, JavaScript and HTML/CSS.  This developer will lean heavily on frameworks and abstractions to make up for not having a huge team of experts at his disposal.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blog.wekeroad.com/2007/10/30/in-which-we-discuss-proprietary-object-noise/">I know I know… your “hello world” built in Utopia by the programming gods can scale to 20 billion users while I can only run 1 billion users before I max out my hardware.  But of course your app took 10 times the amount of time and money just to complete it, and I captured the entire hello world market long before you even had a buggy Alpha release</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4AC0C4B2-B3B7-402D-A5FA-982BD59C7407/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
