After three decades of trying to code myself out of impossible situations I'm starting to depend on other people.
I'm very concious of what it costs to develop and maintain software and the risk that is entailed, never mind the operational costs of running production systems.
I aim for commercial success by having systems that, in some respect, are at least an order of magnitude (if not two, three or four) better than the status quo, but I've got a lot of respect for companies that can serve my everyday operational needs at a fraction of the cost of doing things myself.
