Just like every other story, this one makes you wonder, if you haven't started up yet, why the hell not? Screw all the doubt and do it ASAP, the worst thing that could happen is that you'd learn some Python or Ruby. :-)
The one thing I guess I didn't highlight well enough was that we were lucky to be presented with a way to change our business that would allow us to shift into a better market space. We were even luckier to recognize it and jump on the opportunity.
I think that a lot of the time people go heads down and start rushing in and when presented with an opportunity to shift, they don't see it or are unwilling to make the change.
Congrats goofygrin and thanks for sharing!
