"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"

http://www.codecloud.io - I created this 18 months ago, but it's not really in my field so haven't touched it since. I'd be willing to bring it up to the latest NodeJS and support another database back-end if desired.

Author here.. happy to take feedback. Also check out the Roadmap at https://github.com/smicallef/spiderfoot/wiki/Roadmap

Note: I'm the author. I wrote the first version of this in 2005 in C# as a way to learn C#, and figured completely re-writing it in Python would be a fun way to learn Python, so here is the output of that effort.

I'd certainly appreciate any feedback. Lots of plans to extend further and capture even more information about targets - there are an incredible amount of sources out there.

We've recently launched http://www.codecloud.io which provides a NodeJS back-end for apps, and you can start coding right away from your browser. Of course we think it's pretty cool, but you be the judge :)

Thanks for the feedback! Yes we are looking into expanding into other DB back-ends; SQLite just seemed like the simplest and most familiar to start with. Good point regarding the git integration, we'll definitely look into that. Thanks again.

I've just launched this and am looking for feedback from anyone willing to provide it. Once you log in you'll be able to hack away at NodeJS code and build yourself a pretty functional back-end in minutes based on NodeJS and SQLite.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

At this stage it's completely free, but if you check out the FAQ you'll get a rough indication of pricing. We're trying to get a feel for interest in the product and the level of demand before we go down that path.

I think short term vacationing is fine for preventing burn-out, but yes I agree to recover fully from burn-out a longer term holiday would be ideal (though obviously not everyone has this luxury.)

This has reinforced something I have begun to suspect only recently, and over time am growing in certainty about - take holidays, take them often and get away from the daily monotony.

I've experienced the same feelings that the OP mentioned, and when he said he hadn't taken a holiday since 2007, alarm bells started ringing.

My bursts of inspiration, motivation and the flow of new ideas almost always comes during my 'time off' where I am completely disengaged from everything.

Not saying this works for everyone, but at least for the OP and myself, this is certainly true.

You do realize that the bonuses are paid to practically all staff, right? That includes IT, HR, Legal, Personal Assistants, and so on. So by your logic it's only OK for banks to pay bonuses to staff who do something that benefits society? Or banks shouldn't pay bonuses at all? What about consultancy firms or other large companies that pay bonuses?

I do understand this sentiment, to an extent. The reality is that all the banks participate in the same job market and need to compete to attract and retain talent. If a bank (regardless of bail-out status) does not compensate employees competitively, it will fail to attract and retain the necessary talent and as such fail to perform. The only way a bank could still succeed without paying bonuses is if all banks did the same thing. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I have difficulty understanding the negative attitude people have towards bonuses in this case. Are you a Goldman shareholder who feels that the bank is performing so poorly that its employees don't deserve bonuses? And when you refer to bonuses, are you referring to bonus pay-outs to all employees or just those connected with the financial losses? Just trying to understand this perspective because it seems very bandwagony.
