Things Web Developers Must Achieve

[Money Stunna]

Ok. Every web developer may not be able to achieve all these, but I think every web developer should at least achieve 3 of these. Check them out and tell me where I didn't make any sense.

1. Develop a robust web application that will continue to make you money for years.

2. Be invited to speak at a web design conference in America or Europe or host one in Africa.

3. Develop an opensource web application that will be used widely.

4. Write a ground-breaking book on the art of web design and development.

5. Develop at least 50 wordpress or drupal or joomla or expressionengine themes and make them available for download.

6. Develop a new framework of any language you are proficient in.

7. Develop a widely used plugin for Wordpress or any other CMS.

8. Develop an opensource application that will force Nigerian government to honour you. Like developing a language translation application for English to Hausa or Igbo or Yoruba or Nupe. And then Hausa to Yoruba, Hausa to Igbo, Igbo to Yoruba, Igbo to Hausa, Yoruba to Hausa, Yoruba to Igbo and so on.

9. Develop a comprehensive quality video tutorial from html to advanced php and provide it for free download. Or be doing a weekly podcast or screencast on web design tips.

10. Build a web developers centre where developers can come together and brainstorm and relax.

Most of them make sense, but # 8 and #5 don't make sense to me(they might to others though), example ExpressionEngine doesn't have themes, it uses templates which don't make sense to be downloadable because every site is different. I like # 1 but #3 might make more sense if you'd say "Atleast participate in open source project", #9 Creating video tutorials is hard especially due to equipment language and bandwidth, #10 is a very good idea but money is needed to start but its an idea that even i have had for a long time, the ideas all good IMO.
