    Having worked in this industry for going on 25 years, I long ago learned that there are way too many incompetent programmers in the world working critical jobs. It’s best not to think about it.

      Judge any service (and most other stuff) by its support, aftercare and how they handle complaints / fix problems.

      That’s worth more than flashy front end, marketing bs or even technical performance specs.

        Yep. When buying a product, it ain’t about the packaging, color of the paint, or the sticker/badge hung on it. It’s all about the service when things go sideways. And at some point something will go wrong, it always does. That’s when you learn just how good or bad a company is.
