CodeIgniter Con 2010: The good, the bad and the down right ugly.

This year's CodeIgniter Conference was a mixture of pure awesomeness, crazy clubbing and mad dashes. Some may describe it as a sham, not much went to what was a very limited plan. Saying that though we've haven't had many bad tweets regarding the weekends activities. After the conference day quite a few of us met in The Crown, and later moved onto a few bars and nightclubs. We all had fun and the tweetstream has been very positive.

Being a solo developer is awesome. Being a solo developer is awful.

Being a solo web developer has it's upsides: you can build what you like etc. But sometimes you just need to be in a team. Sometimes your skills can't cover all of your ideas, or you have too many ideas for the time you have. There are only 24 hours in a day, remember.
