The post The Freelancer Dilemma | CR 81 first appeared on Jupiter Broadcasting.

The Play Framework has been on Mike’s mind a lot recently. Also known as JavaPlay, an easy way to build web applications with Java and Scala. This week Mike shares what started out as a grand idea, but developed into a major reboot and overhaul of the project.

And why in the end, no matter what platform, software stack, or store you choose or avoid is always a risky choice.

Plus: How to bounce back from burnout, find new motivation, and get started.

• Mike does not mean free software when he says open source — he means open source…
• Michael wants to know if I think that Macs have become popular with developers because that is what their employers buy — ie would they spend the same money themselves?
• Kostas writes in re the open-source business models: “In my opinion the only people who can afford to experiment with this are people whose lives don\’t depend on the revenue from their software. That leaves just hobbyists and college students”
• Mike has been learning Python and wants to know what GUI toolkit to use
• David needs to buy a new PC and wants to know if I recommend a laptop or desktop.
