Wouldn't you expect a poor level of diversification in a stock portfolio based on corruption? They aren't dollar cost averaging and diversifying. They're doing the exact opposite to maximize the trade.
I'd love to talk to companies that are looking for a Sr. Engineer that has spent the last 6 years writing ruby on rails code. Currently work in a healthy work environment that focuses on code quality, having tests, and practicing agile principles to build software that works for our customers. I'd like to work in a customer focused environment.
Depending on the complexity of the ecosystem and the experience of the developer 2 weeks to 1 month might not be enough time. You'd also want to be worried about the code slinger that just starts throwing code at a problem and looks like a rockstar in the first couple months, but by month 6 has ground to a halt because they can't change the code they wrote a few months ago.
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.
Yeah. I think you need a corporate account though. Do you have metrics in place to see if you can improve performance? Have you played with dyno resizing based on load or time?
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.

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.
