I think you got the Cause-Effect process backwards; when you are successful you will be too busy to blog, but to be successful, initially, you need to market yourself and your products through blogs...

One thing I like about python is it's simplicity. Just one look and I ken what it's trying to do. As to the question why it may seem overwhelming; well, I think it has to do with the extreme number of choices.

For me, I simply picked one, Django, and worked on a simple post/comment app. After that, I move on to blogging app, then file sharing app, then payroll, etc. After dozens or so application, coding using Django comes automatically. Thats when I decided to try out Flask, and repeat the same process.

Yep, small, incremental steps.

It's still expensive at $35,000. If the price is brought down to say 3,500 then I'm guessing a lot of early adopters will try to get their own butler robot.

Co-workers. I'm technical, he is in operations.

I've been playing with it too, and have written my own API using Flask & Python for a local company application. I've based my architecture on most of their designs. Very impressed with how clean and intuitive Parse API seems to be.
