Reading this article reminds me of a story that got me on the path of Linux, open source and away from Windows career path years ago.
I was starting out my IT career as a Windows tech at a company. One guy that was obviously smart, Linux literate, and given a lot of responsibility at the company mentioned that he had scripted a tool to check constantly if a domain that he wanted became available or not. He wanted to make sure he grabbed it as soon as it became available.
It was the first example I saw of someone automating something with some scripting. Coming from Windows side, I was like what~~? Scripting can do that?
This was when Yahoo was the king. (I'm not THAT old).
The thing is this kind of scripting is NOT new. It was done before by others. But with proper execution, park.io is able to generate a million dollar a year. Good for him.
