Nice one! I can't believe its been ten years either. Congratulations! Here's to wishing continued success in the future!

Hey Mark, not to be too forward but are moving expenses covered with that job offer if you're coming from say, the US?

For the right person, without a doubt, Sojan. We've already employed 4 or 5 guys directly from overseas and helped all of them to varying degrees.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'm also glad that I've been able to live through the emergence of the so-called "information age" and hopefully sitepoint.com has played a tiny part in helping it along.

You know I hear people all the time say that it's hard to start a business these days because everything worthwhile has already been done. They couldn't be more wrong!

I'm still around to answer any other questions you might have.

I agree, they could not be more wrong. It is amazing how people without vision predict the collapse of life when a new technology or method emerges. It always was the case.

The future looks bright and oh so exciting New kinds of jobs will emerge, new specialty jobs and on and on. What a great time we are living in.

Thanks for doing the interview Mark (I'm also now curious on how you handled the "dangerous objects" question ...)

What I Truely like about sitepoint is the quality. The quality of Everything: Your books / Your articles / Your forums posts. Everything sounds gr8 here. I think you can still have gr8 future projects based on the success you achieved on sitepoint. Wish you the best...

Sitepoint is one of the oldest resources for professional growth in web development online, and continually proves to be a critical tool in my work. I would not be doing what I'm doing today if not for the articles and forums at Sitepoint. And I love what I'm doing today, so thank you.
