Oops... So, you would be another startup. That would make 3, maybe 4 that I've found. Something to consider is finding potential customers and seeing if they would fund the development. That way, you would have money and live testers. Startups sometimes do that to get an MVP done.

It did not. Now that I'm writing again, I'd like to do some Delphi stuff too. Writing is great, but it's difficult to do that for long hours everyday (well, at least for me it is). About 3 or 4 hours working on a book and I need a change for the rest of the day. I have put in 12 hour days of writing, turning out 7500+ words, but it leaves me worn thin for the next day.

It's my favorite IDE. I like others VS, Eclipse, etc, but prefer to work in Delphi.

Been there, done that, wore out the t-shirt. I'm not much interested in the startup scene these days.

I have found a startup or two that is using Delphi. But, I'm not really looking for that kind of situation. Too much of a roller coaster ride for me.

I've found some jobs, but the pay is low because they are wanting to grow the IT department larger. I'm looking for a unique opportunity that is exciting and very, very lucrative. I no longer need to build a resume or climb the corporate ladder. This is depressing!

My lifestyle requires $150K/yr just to support it. I can't wait three to five years for a startup to take off or go belly up.

Is there no one in the US building something awesome with Delphi? I keep looking but I'm not finding much. Mostly, it's just your same ole' same ole'--reinventing the wheel and making a dollar a day with all the pop u can drink. No one out there has come up with something lucrative and fascinating to develop and make fat stacks of cash?! This is sad, so very very sad.

What you are trying to do is reverse engineer the application - you start with a working app and you figure out how it does what it does. Reverse engineering happens everyday, but it is done by very experienced software developers.

That is 100% correct! Either intentionally or unintentionally that is the situation.

Don't use that, I had problems with that. I received an email for me to schedule an interview and it didn't work. The company didn't call at either of the times specified. Also, the options to confirm, say thanks, and whatever resulted in a mailer daemon error. Don't provide any information until you speak with someone. I think Craig Kinney is the contact for that position.

Partner.co is looking for a Delphi dev, but I had problems using their ATS, so you might want to contact them and ask for a way to email your resume instead.

Do they have to already be in Denmark or will you relocate the right person?

But, you don't want anyone to contact you?

It's a pretty good book, a lot of language type stuff. With low/no code being the focus today (again), look at component based development and generating most of your code. Learning to write all the basic code patterns before becoming productive at app development is a waste these days. If you study all the low-level stuff, you'll end up finding yourself on programming forums fighting about how to shave one clock-cycle off of a 10,000 line module. Also, as you have already learned, ten years will go by and your app still won't be ready for release.
