I understand your position, but in my defense I have a massive custom codebase to pick from (as well as the web) and there is nothing I can't do in php, javascript (though absolute preference for jquery nowadays), mysql or anything to do with a linux server. roR I can edit, but not build from scratch, same for python and java. Not sure what else is required for today's modern apps
And if a job is too big, whether out of my league or no time, I will say so, so no loss there. I've been lead programmer for large corps before, so I know how to delegate. It's just I prefer now to go things alone and work for myself.
--edit Although I've said this previously on a few occasions, it's worth iterating... As hard as it may be to believe, I'm not in it for $$$, but give me a good problem that requires serious thought and I'll deliver it. But of course I won't turn down a 10k€ gig neither ;)
